• The nation’s model building Codes, BOCA, SBC and UBC all have minimum required floor live loads (PSF). The 3 Codes, for example, use a 40 PSF floor LL for residential, 50 PSF floor live load for offices and a 125 PSF floor live load for light storage. A copy of the UBC floor live load table 16-A is provided on the ClarkWestern’s CD-ROM and web site for your use. Since these are minimum required loads, higher loads may be required for a specific project.
