2 Floor live load of industrial buildings

4.2.1 During the production utilization or the installation repair of floors of industrial
buildings, the partial load produced by the equipment, pipelines, transportation tools or
possibly-removed partitions shall be considered according to the practical situation and can be
substituted by the isoeffect rectangular distribution live load.
Note: 1. The floor isoeffect rectangular distribution live load shall be decided by the method stated in Appendix B.
2. For common smith shops, instrumentation production workshops, semiconductor device workshops, cotton
spinning and knitting workshops, preparing shops in tire plants and grain processing workshops, if there are not
enough materials; it shall be adopted according to Appendix C.

4.2.2 The operation combination of loads, including operating personnel, general purpose
tools, small amount of raw materials and the deadweight of finished products on areas without
equipment of floors ( including working platforms) of industrial buildings shall be considered
as the rectangular distribution live load and adopt 2.0kN/m2. The staircase live load in
production workshops shall be adopted according to the practical situation and shall be no
less than 3.5kN/m2.
4.2.3 The combination value coefficient, frequent value coefficient and quasi- permanent
value coefficient of floor live loads of industrial buildings shall be adopted according to the
practical situation besides values given in Appendix C. However, under no circumstance shall
the combination value and the frequent value coefficient be less than 0.7 and the
quasi-permanent value coefficient no less than 0.6.

4.3 Roof live load

4.3.1 The roof rectangular distribution live load on the horizontal projection surface
shall be adopted according to Table 4.3.1. The roof rectangular distribution live load
can't be considered together with the snow load.

Note: 1. For roofs without holding persons, if the construction load is comparatively large, it shall be adopted
according to the practical situation. For different structures, according to related design specifications, the
characteristic value/nominal value shall be increased or decreased by 0.2kN/m2.
2. For roofs holding persons, if they are used for other purposes, relevant floor live loads shall be adopted.
3. For seeper combination of loads caused by the disturbance of roof drainage or blockage, construction
measures shall be adopted. If necessary, the roof live loads shall be decided according the possible depth of
