Plywood Floor Per IBC 125 psf LL

[jgeng]

Can someone tell me if 23/32 GP Dryply Sturd-I-Floor would meet IBC requirements with a 125 psf LL + 10 psf DL supported on 16" centers and/or what design checks should be done and where to find the material strengths? It is unclear which tables in IBC apply to me?

In the "APA Design.Construction Guide Residential & Commercial", Page 40, Table 28, for 23/32 ply, either 4 or 5 ply, it is good for a minimum 130 psf live load at 16" on center.

My copy is from 1979, but the info should still be applicable.

2006 IBC, page 426, Section 2304.7, tables 2304.7(1), (2), (3) and (4) apply, however in these tables the lbs/sq.ft is lower than your design criteria of 135 lbs/total load. Using l/360 deflection base and the material data as pointed out by msquared48 you should meet your goals fairly straight forwardly. I hope this will help a little.
