# Reduced Loads in SEL – Line Loads

How live and roof live load reduction factors are applied to all beam loads when they populate in the ENERCALC SEL interface.

Once LL and LR reduction factors have been set and the beam calculation is launched, the factors will be applied to all applicable loads found on the beam. These loads will populate in the ENERCALC SEL interface with reduced magnitudes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Reduction factors will be applied to **ALL** LL or LR loads present on the beam. This reduction is applied uniformly to all three Revit load types (point, linear, and area), as well as “Load-Linked” reaction forces. Reduction is applied regardless of whether the forces are populated in the “Span Loads” or “Loads All Spans” tabs. ***The design professional is responsible for verifying that reduction of all loads is appropriate for the design.***

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/beam-loads-16/live-load-reduction/reduced-loads-in-sel-line-lo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
