Locker Room Live Load

Locker Room Live Load

Locker Room Live Load

(OP)
What do you guys use for a locker room live load? It's ancillary to a gymnasium so I think 100 psf is overkill. Judging by my gyms locker room I'd go with 50 psf live + 20 psf partitions.

RE: Locker Room Live Load

Check the IBC 2009 -

I think 60 psf live and 10 psf partition would meet code??

RE: Locker Room Live Load

Nobody going to randomly drop a 280 lb barbell set in the locker room?  (280 lbs / 6 square inches = ouch!   8<)

Seems like a 300 lb person would be your max load - all of that on two feet.    Lockers are lightweight and spread out, but the benches?  Easy to imagine a couple of three heavy-weights sitting at the same time on a bench held up by only two posts.     

RE: Locker Room Live Load

Are you talking showers and lockers or weight lifting and team meetings??

Sorry guys, the question became moot once the owner moved the lockers to the basement and put handball courts on the framed level.
