Adding 1.1 kips of equipment load on a stadium's balcony
Adding 1.1 kips of equipment load on a stadium's balcony
(OP)
Hi,
I'm checking options for adding a skid on top of a stadium's balcony. The rebars, thickness of slab are uknown. I'm proposing the skid to be placed on top of a minimum 24" deep beam (measured from the lower level). The beam is spanned out 30 ft between two columns. The total load adds up to 1.1 kips. I know this might be a simple problem, but adding that much load to a balcony seems a little too much to me. How would you approach this?

24" concrete beam or steel beam?
Remember - More details = better answers

The beam shown is running on north side direction, connecting to the main beam and then the load transfers to the column. The balcony/ rooftop spans out about 7'-0".
What do you think the best approach is?
