Trusses and arches shall be designed to resist the stresses caused by unit live loads on one-half ofthe span if such loading results in Feverse stresses, or stresses greater in any portion than the sresses produced by the required unit live load on the entire span, For roofs whose structures are composed of a stressed shell, framed or solid, wherein stresses caused by ‘ny point loading are distributed throughout the area of the shell, the requirements for unbalanced unit live load design may be reduced 50 percent. 2084.4 Sp Roof Loads Roof to be used for special purposes shall be designed for appropriate loads as approved by the building official, Greenhouse roof bars, purlins and rafters shall be designed to carry a 0.45 kN concentrated load, L,, in addition to the uniform live load 205.5 Reduction of Live Loads ‘The design live load determined using the unit live loads as, set forth in Table 205-1 for floors and Table 205-3, Method 2, for roofs may be reduced on any member supporting. more than 15 m’, including flat slabs, except for floors in, places of public assembly and for live loads greater than, 4.8 kPa, in accordance with the following equation: R=r(a~15) (205-1) ‘The reduction shall not exceed 40 percent for members receiving load from one level only, 60 percent for other 'members or R, as determined by the following equation: R=23.1(1 + D/L) (205-2) where A. = area of floor or roof supported by the member, m?
