RE: minimum live load for tresury areas (in banks)

You may want to check with them and determine an actual weight.  Could be 100 psf or 400 psf depending on how high the piles of money are...

RE: minimum live load for tresury areas (in banks)

Heavy filing systems generally run around 200 to 250 psf.  That value is also similar to commercial kitchens with heavy equipment.  I would suggest at least 200 psf - but would definitely look into the actual weight of the containment drawers/boxes and estimate some contents to see how the load spreads out in a uniform value.

RE: minimum live load for tresury areas (in banks)

recently worked on an existing federal reseve bank and the floor design loads ranged from 250 psf to 600 psf depending if they were storing coin or not.

Definetly check with your client

RE: minimum live load for tresury areas (in banks)

I worked on a design of a payroll building - constructed of timber only. The safe was pretty heavy. The floor joists were 2x12 @ 8 in o.c. The joists were supported every 2 ft. I bet if you back-calculate you'll be in the ballpark of 400 psf or something like that.

RE: minimum live load for tresury areas (in banks)

I would worry about the point load caused by the heavy equipment moving the safe to the right spot.
