Concrete Floor Weight Limit

It does not mean that a 300 lb.

Concrete floor weight limit.

Sorry to see that you are blocking ads on the engineering toolbox. While for different applications different floor loading capacity is required. The weight load capacity range for standard raised access flooring is from 1 000 to 2 000 pounds. Increasing the total weight on the floor to 4 480 pounds however results in a live load of 40 psf which is beyond the floor s load capacity.

This may seem light but this is 50 pounds over each and every square foot of floor space. With an evenly distributed live load of 30 psf which the tables show the floor is able to support the total weight on the floor would be about 3 360 pounds. 500 kg m2 is typical for office storage space and similar. That being as it may concrete is rated in pounds per square inch and soil is characterized by pounds per square foot in soil bearing capacity so when you design the slab calculate the soil bearing capacity 1500 lbs per square foot is nominal divide the total load plus the weight of th.

Keep in mind that this is the typical capacity not an across the board standard. This is commonly referred to as the concentrated load rating of the access floor panel. Lineman standing on one leg will fall through the floor. Load capacities of simply supported concrete slabs.

Structural concrete work is planned to bear loads or hold weight but transfer the weight to the soil base beneath the structure. The typical floor in many regions is made of 6 thick concrete and has a capacity of 25 000 pounds. The thickness of concrete is an important factor in load bearing strength but to conserve resources and avoid over building other factors are also taken into consideration. Imposed loads varies from approximately 1 5 kn m2 153 kg m2 in domestic buildings to approximately 1 0 kn m2 1053 kg m2 in heavy industrial areas.

The weight load capacity range for standard raised access flooring ranges from 950 pounds 1250 pounds.
