Heliport Load Rating
Heliport Load Rating
(OP)
I am looking at a pretty typical concrete slab that will be designed and used as an on-ground helipad in the median of a highway. The local DOT is asking for a load rating for the helipad. This is my first time looking at a helipad and from the research I have been doing, other than ensuring the slab and sub-base/soil can handle the expected loads, I cannot find anywhere that details a load rating for these areas. Am I missing something or is the DOT maybe used to getting load ratings for their roadways/bridges that they just expect the same for these pads?
TIA
