LIVE LOAD ON INTERIOR PARTITION WALLS IN ICE HOCKEY AREANA

(OP)
We are providing glazing support system around perimeter of ice hockey arena. Just need to know what are the horizontal live loads i have to use. Glazing is 8ft high with openning above but column supporting glazing at about 15ft on centre is about 23ft.

RE: LIVE LOAD ON INTERIOR PARTITION WALLS IN ICE HOCKEY AREANA

Wind and earthquake should be your only horizontal loads.  Use specification ASCE 7

RE: LIVE LOAD ON INTERIOR PARTITION WALLS IN ICE HOCKEY AREANA

At a very minimum you should design them as handrails for crowd loading with the horizontal loads applied at the top.

Check with the hockey asociation to see if they have any specific criteria.

RE: LIVE LOAD ON INTERIOR PARTITION WALLS IN ICE HOCKEY AREANA

Glass is a very scary product for hockey arena.  Tempered, layered with Lexan, wire grid embed and other modifications have shattered in my experience from collisions with players, Zamboni, spectators and stick/puck.
