Construction Load Factors - Concrete
Construction Load Factors - Concrete
(OP)
We've been hired by a contractor to look at how much shoring will be required in order to drive a crane onto raised concrete slab. Its a series of one way slabs spanning between beams that are in some cases conventionally reinforced and in other cases post-tensioned. I have the outrigger loads from the crane manufacturer - but how much should I factor this load up by to compare it to the strength level capacities I calculate with ACI. Any thoughts on construction load factors in general . . . Didn't ASCE come out with a book on construction design loads similar to ASCE 7-02?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would also ask the crane manufacturer for their design load limits.

That consideration is the description of load case ACI 9.2.6. The dynamic live load is further factored.
U = 1.7 ( L = L dynamic ) + Whatever else.
