Dorm loft design
Dorm loft design
(OP)
I've been approached by a university to design a plan for a lofted bed typically found in college dorms.
Are there any structural codes that I can use as reference for the load capability of the fasteners, joints, and wooden members?
My design will be more than robust. But I would like to be able to reference that the loft meets the requirements of any applicable codes.

This being a college dorm - I would suggest at least double that in case the dormee has a visitor and seismic effects come into play.....
