Good evening gents!
Just had an argument with a site engineer regarding Imposed load on a loading bay 4mL * 2mW with 1m bay length and 1m bay width, he was saying that it can be loaded up to 10kN/m2.
By my calculations maximum loading would be about 4.8kN/m2, anything above that wouldn't pass ledger calculation (added 25% due to mechanical loading).
For ledger calculation applied this formula from TG20:13, page 142 M=0.167*P*L
And for transom calculation page 139 where M=0.086*W*L
Am i doing it wrong?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
