Does anyone know if there are published tables for the allowable load capacity of Dox plank? (Looks like stack bond masonry spanning horizontally from underside of plank). I looked at an existing roof of an old laundromat yesterday with 16" wide dox plank spanning about 24 feet. The owner wants to cuts some small openings and possibly add some small mechanical units on the roof.

Seems to be a Wisconsin thing. They at least had a plant in Wisconsin, and are referred to as a "founding industry". Hopefully you are in Wisconsin and can try the libraries of colleges with engineering courses.

Thanks... I'll give that a try.
