The design of building structures, must conform to the provisions in the loading code. However, the live load requirement in the current Taiwan code are out of date. This research is to investigate the live loads for different building occupancies , and to establish the analysis procedure for probability distributions. The obtained results include the design live load , live load reduction formula, as well as the probability distributions for sustained live load and 50-year maximum live load. The comparison between the results and the current is made. More accurate results will be obtained if additional survey data is available.
