Storage Area Point Load
Storage Area Point Load
(OP)
I am designing an elevated area for fixed storage racks. They want to use bar grating for the floor. I am adding additional structure under the rack point loads. Do I need to design the open areas for any point loads or simply the 125 psf light storage loads?
Thanks
Thanks

Then we've just made sure to play around with the live load distribution/skip loading on any continuous multi-span members to get maximum response.

The only equipment being used are humans and a conveyor to get the tire up there - but that is supported independently.
