Steel Diamond Tread Plate?

Steel Diamond Tread Plate?

Steel Diamond Tread Plate?

(OP)
Hi everyone.  First post and need help lol.

Have a client who wants to use 3/16" steel diamond plate flooring for a second floor of a storage garage.  I'm looking for a load rating (of sorts) to determine max live load.  Been browsing sites with no luck.  Any help or direction is appreciated.  

Structures is not my strong point.  I'm an E&S guy.

RE: Steel Diamond Tread Plate?

According to AISC-ASD (American Institute of Steel Construction - Allowable Stress Design) Manual p. 2-145 load in pounds per square foot based on span:
333 psf for 1'-6" span
188 psf for 2'-0" span
120 psf for 2'-6" span
83 psf for 3'-0" span
