Construction Load
Construction Load
(OP)
How do you compute the allowable construction load?
Lets say, I am casting my precast wall panel on top of the UGF floor Slab....
The precast wall panel will give a 100 psf load to the slab.
Any thoughts?

A well respected free reference is the "California Falsework Manual". The California DOT does not appear to have it on their website any longer...
so, this morning I have put it on my site, on this page:

See Chapter 3.

RE: Construction Load
Some codes will give basic guidelines on this as well, though I can't say I've seen a building code that does (CSA S6-06 has a few guidelines for bridge construction loads).
In reference to jrisebo's comments, concrete being cast is generally treated as a live load in limit states designs.
