Mech / Equip / Display Mezz Live Loads
Mech / Equip / Display Mezz Live Loads
(OP)
IBC does not list minimum live loads for mechanical, equipment or display mezzanines. IBC 1606.2 states to include fixed service equipment dead loads.
After equipment loads have been considered, what do you use for overall live loads, for the above specified commercial occupancies?
Thank you ...

It always amazes me how much stuff they wind up putting in these rooms and they hang from the roof structure.
200 PSF seems like an over kill unless you have specific knowledge of the equipment to be used.

I am all for safety. I've been accused of designing bomb shelters. But, in some cases, I don't want to be an extreme overkill. I realize this is my decision, but, I'm just curious if anyone has EVER considered any of the above.
Thank you ...
