Reduced Loading For construction time temporary slab load?
Reduced Loading For construction time temporary slab load?
(OP)
Pals
Load factors are based on probabilities, as far as I know. There are cases when we have to put temporary load directly on slab during construction, and I am concerned on whether reduced load factors can be used for such loading.
Is there any reduction? Cant find anything in the code.
What risk is applicable for such loading? same as long term loads?

RE: Reduced Loading For construction time temporary slab load?
What kind of load are you applying?
You may have more available residual capacity than you realize as during some stages of construction, not all deadload has been applied or installed and that capacity is still available from the structural system.
Good Luck,

The most common loading we apply is crane truck load used to erect steel roof structure on top of a reinforced concrete floor.
I agree with you that this loading can be dangerous, I am only looking for literary work on such loadings
Thanks for pointing out ASCE 37-02

it is elevated. and rests on a beam column grid system. The slab is two way.
