Elevator Equipment Supports

(OP)
Let me try it like this.

I am looking for the requirements for the design of steel beams which support elevator equipment such as allowable deflection, stress limits, fatigue, etc. Thanks in advance.

RE: Elevator Equipment Supports

This information would come from the elevator manufacturer no?  I remember doing one a few months back and I thought the requirements were around L/1000.  It might have even been more strict, but the requirements came direct form the mfr.

I have their loading but they didn't provide design criteria. I remember there are some specific code requirements but I seem to have lost my copy of the info.

RE: Elevator Equipment Supports

Few years back I had attended an AISC seminar on design of steel buildings where the instructor mentioned the ASME A17.1 deflection criterion as span/1666.
