Note:

1. All live loads in this Table are applicable for natural service conditions. If the working load is extremely large,
the live loads shall be adopted according to practical situations.
2. for the live load of stack rooms in item 6, if the height of bookshelves is greater than 2 m, the live load for
stack rooms shall be decided according to a height no less than 2.5kN/m2.
3. The live load for carriages in item 8 is applicable to carriages holding fewer than 9 persons. The live load of
fire-fighting vehicles is applicable to oversize vehicles with the full load of 300kN. If requirements in this Table are
not met, according to the equivalence principle of structural effect, the partial load of wheels shall be converted to
the equivalent uniform live load.
4. The live load for staircases in item 11, for the precast stair footfall slabs, shall be calculated according to a
concentrated load of 1.5kN.
5. All combinations of loads do not contain the deadweight of partitions and the combination of loads for the second
fixture and fitting. The fixed partition and deadweight shall be taken as permanent combination of loads. If the
position of partitions can be moved freely, the weight of non-fixed partitions shall take 1/3 the weight of the wall as
the additive value (kN/m2) which shall be no less than 1.0 kN/m2 of the live loads on floors.

4.1.2 For the design of girders, walls, columns and foundations of floors, under the
following circumstances, the characteristic value/nominal value of live loads on the
floors in Table 4.1.1 shall be multiplied by the discount coefficient:
1. The discount coefficient during the design of floor girders;
1) In item 1(1), if the tributary area of girders exceeds 25m2, select 0.9;
2) In items 1(2)-7, if the tributary area of girders exceeds 50m2, select 0.9;
3) In item 8, junior beam of one-way slabs and vittae of trough plates, select
0.9;
For girder of one-way slabs, select 0.6;
For girders of two-way slabs, select 0.8.
4) For items 9-12, the discount coefficient shall be the same as that of the
buildings.
2. The discount coefficient of designing walls, columns and foundations:
1) Item 1(1) shall be adopted according to Table 4.1.2.
2) Items 1(2)-7 shall adopt the discount coefficient the same as that of the
girders of floors.
3) In item 8, for one-way slabs, select 0.5;
For two-way slabs and flat slab floors, select 0.8.
4) In items 9-12, the discount coefficient shall be adopted the same as that of
the building.
Note: The tributary area of floor girders is decided by the real area within the range extending 1/2 case bay
to both sides of the girder.
Table 4.1.2 Discount coefficient of live loads according to different floors
Number of floors above the calculation section of walls, volumes and foundations 1 2-3 4-5 6-8 9-20 ≥20

The discount coefficient of live loads total on each floor above the calculation section 1.00 (0.90) 0.85 0.70 0.65 0.60 0.55

Note: If the tributary area of floor girders exceeds 25m2, the coefficient shall adopt the one in the parentheses.

4.1.3 The partial loads on floor structures shall be converted into isoeffect rectangular
distribution live loads according to Appendix B.
