Explanation / Answer

This reduction is done because the probability of having the concerned member under the full load is very less if a large area is considered. This area being 18.4m2. Thus it is considered that area greater than 18.4m2 will not be loaded to it's maximum limit and so a factor is applied to get a reduced load.
