Live Loads. As indicated on Drawings.
Live Loads. Live loads shall consist of uniform live loads and equipment live loads. These uniform live loads shall not be applied to floor areas which will be permanently covered with equipment. Equipment live loads are calculated loads based upon the actual weight and size of the equipment and parts. Equipment live loads shall also include loading to be placed on floors during dismantling, or temporarily placed on or moved over floors during installation. Floors and supporting members which are subject to heavy equipment live loads shall be designed on the basis of the weight of the equipment in addition to a uniform load of 50 psf, or specifically defined live loads, whichever is greater. Each member in the floor which may carry these loads shall be designed for the heaviest piece or pieces of equipment arranged in the most critical position. - FLOOR LIVE LOADS. Ground floor slabs shall be designed for a minimum of 250 psf in equipment laydown areas and all areas where 2-ton forklift operation is determined during the design. Consideration shall be given to designing appropriate areas of the ground floor for support of heavy equipment such as construction and maintenance cranes. Slabs for control and switchgear areas shall be designed for a minimum of 150 psf, or the actual weight plus 50 psf for surrounding open areas. Ground floor slabs for shops and auxiliary buildings shall be designed for 150 psf. Storage areas shall be designed for the actual weight of the stored material, but no less than 150 psf in light storage areas and 250 psf in heavy storage areas (maintenance shop). Suspended grating floors shall be designed for a loading of 100 psf to supporting members. The grating itself shall be designed for 150 psf (dead plus live loads) to minimize deflection. --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ EPC - Exhibit B ------------------------ TENASKA GEORGIA GENERATION PROJECT Page 30 of 132 --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - SUSPENDED FLOORS.

Live Loads. Typical Floor 100 psf Roof per Code (incl. (boca snow drift) Print Center 200 psf minimum (subject to verification of equipment) Live Load reduction per code on floor girders, columns and foundations only.
Live Loads. Design live loads shall be not less than those stipulated by the applicable code and, in addition, shall be not less than the minimum live loads specified in Table “Minimum Design Live Loads” below which include imposed loads relating to operational and maintenance of the terminal buildings. If the Contractor proposes to use a reduction in the intensity of imposed roof loading as listed below for any particular ancillary building, he shall be obliged to satisfy the Engineer as to the validity and appropriateness of the reduced value.

Equipment loading conditions associated with assembly and maintenance activities in combination with circulation/access loading shall be considered and the worst condition adopted for design. Particular attention should be paid to loads arising from equipment requirements.
Live Loads. Live loads shall be in accordance with the ASCE Standard American Society of Civil Engineers Minimum Design Loads for Building and other Structures, ANSI/ASCE 7-95, unless local governing code is more severe.
Live Loads. Revise first (1st) paragraph as follows: Do not allow power-operated buggies, diamond grinding, and diamond saw grooving to cross a deck until fourteen (14) days after the deck concrete in a span has been placed and then only if the combined weight of the equipment is less than 10,000 pounds and the deck concrete has attained a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 pounds per square inch. Revise third (3rd) paragraph, last sentence as follows: This authorization will be given as follows: · A truck mixer not exceeding 8.0 kilometers/ hour (5 m.p.h.) can be placed on the deck for construction of other concrete appurtenances when the concrete in the deck has attained a minimum strength of 23 MPa 3350 pound per square inch and after minimum seven (7) day wet cure. Only one truck will be allowed on the deck at a time in a span or continuous unit for each truck placement occurrence. · Bridge deck open to traffic after a period of 14 days after placing the last deck concrete and a minimum deck concrete strength of
Live Loads. The bridge shall be designed for live loads of IRC Class 70-R loading or of IRC Class “A” loading or a combination of these loadings that can be accommodated within the carriageway to produce most severe stresses.
