Application
Application 1: 
Principal-load factor for the live load for liquids in tanks.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) for application of Part 9] that are required to be designed in accordance with the requirements of Part 4.

Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the application of Sentence 4.1.3.2.(2) and allow a reduction of the principal-load factor for the live load for liquids in tanks, on the basis that tanks limit the amount of liquid that can be contained in them, thereby making the determination of their weight more certain than for other live loads.
