Library stack room LL
Library stack room LL
(OP)
From ASCE 7-05 it appears that stack rooms have to be designed for a min LL of 150 psf. Is that all I need to use or should I be superimposing some other loads (partitions etc). 150 psf seems sort of light, so I wanted to make sure I get it right.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I think that their number takes into account the spaces between the shelves, but why lose any sleep over it? Make it 200 or 250 psf.

JC, DST: thanks for the input. Looking at the link you posted, running some numbers based on 48 pcf paper density and also reading at this article I found via google: http:/
I have decided to use 180 psf LL as min.
