Bank Vault Loads
Bank Vault Loads
(OP)
I'm working on a floor system below a bank vault. What have others used for live loads is such a situation? Perhaps the 250 psf required for heavy storage in the IBC?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Bank Vault Loads
I was involved with a bank vault demolition, and it was 18 inches thick (all 6 sides) with 3 layers of #5 bars at 4" o.c.. The demolition contractor was not too happy.
From what I understand, the rebars at 4" o.c. are so that a) you cant 'blow up' the vault, and b) if you could, you'd never get your hands through the twisted rebar mess remaining.
