Office space is 50psf. Commercial space is 100 psf. A car is much heavier than a person. Isn't 50 psf quite low? Why, How much does a car weigh?

This includes loads for normal passenger vehicles as well as trucks and buses, though a note on the load table states "Garages accommodating trucks and buses shall be designed in accordance with an approved method, which contains provisions for truck and bus loadings."

I'm currently designing a undeground warehouse which is to be placed under a gas station and I'm not sure what live load I should use.

Anyway, if you're worried, put the AASHTO wheel load (32 kips per axle) with it's 1.3 impact factor (conservative for a low speed situation) spread out over it's appropriate area (very completely defined in AASHTO) on various places on your slab and check it out. I find that kind of exercise therapeutic.

4k is not a heavy car. A 2013 Ford Taurus weighs that much.

I swear parking garages have the shortest usable life of almost any commercial or industrial structure. To "refine" the load from a scant 50 down to skinny 40 psf is a bit too edgy for me.
