The 1994-and-later UBCs have different live load requirements for residential balconies vs residential decks (See Table 16-A, line 12). SOMEWHERE in the code the two are defined. As I recall, a balcony is a cantelevered structure and a deck has supports under its outer edge. I cannot locate those definitions to save my life.
Where in the UBC are "balcony" and "deck" defined?
Are there similar distinctions in the IBC? Where are the IBC definitions found?
