Activate reductions in live or imposed load cases

When you create a load case whose type is Live (US) or Imposed (other head codes), you can allow Tekla Structural Designer to automatically calculate load reductions in accordance with the percentages specified on the Load reductions page in Model Settings. To do so, see the following instructions.

  2. Select the Live or Roof Liveload case to which you want to apply the reductions.
  3. Select the Live Load Reductions option.
  4. Click OK.

Activate reductions in imposed load cases (other head codes)
