Floor Live Load Help
Floor Live Load Help
(OP)
IBC 2000, steel ag structure covering an elevated conveyor line. The floor does NOT support the conveyor. The elevated floor allows access to the conveyor but typically nobody is occupying the floor. The structure is enclosed on the long walls and open on the ends.
What live load would you use for the floor design?
Where is IBC 2000 #14 in table 1607.1 used?
#14 - finish light floor plate ocnstruction

That was my first thought as well.
But when looking at what this is and what it will be used for, 60 psf sounds excessive even with workmen with heavy equipment in the event of a conveyor repair.
The conveyor is not supported by the floor.
The floor area is 30'x170'.
It is what it is, though.
