Dear All,
I need help understanding duty class that specifies in TG:20.
Class 4 (Heavy Duty) mentioned that it can have a maximum universal distributed load of 3.0kN/m2. If i convert this to kg it is roughly 300Kg/m2, so if for example i have 2 person (90kg each) and equipment of 100kg. Total of 280KGs (ignoring other criteria such as deadload etc for now)
Does this mean that it falls under Heavy duty? OR do i have to divide 280Kgs by the area to get the UDL?
