Loading and design requirements 2

[SteelPE]

We have been asked to do some engineering on a building that requires a roof top helicopter landing pad. I don’t really have any idea what code this would fall under… or what loading criteria would be used. I assume we would still be using the standard AISC and ACI documents. Does anyone have any idea what the requirements are for such a structure? More specifically the loading requirements for such a structure.

IBC 2006 Section 1605.5 covers load combinations to consider for heliports.

Search online for FAA Advisory Circular 150/5390-2B. It gives some structural guidance along with civil, architectural, navigation, etc.
