Thanks Daniel. Still learning what's new in the 13 edition. Now it looks like we can have pockets formed by I-beams but not when the I-beams are covered with gyp-rock (hehe)?

(to tie in the previous question) Ceiling pocket definition 2013-3.3.4 & the Annex (not enforceable, I know) speaking to intent of the definition, and specifically addressing QR reduction and how it is not to be used for structural members(the definition).. This was added in the 2013 edition, the 2010 edition only speaks to application to obstructed/unobstructed and not the QR reduction. So a ceiling pocket cannot be defined by obstructed construction. So you comply with the QR rules? Am I following that correctly?

Can the QR reduction be applied to obstructed construction? Can the reduction be taken for twin tee construction?
