Live Loads on Floors in Buildings
Information is presented on floor loads found in various occupancies such as office buildings, stores, factories, and warehouses. Most of this consists of the results of a recent survey in which the weight and distribution of goods, equipment, and occupants were obtained floor by floor and area by area. Such data are needed as a check on permissible minimum live loads in buildings codes and as a basis for design of buildings. A method of reducing the assumed value for live load on structural members supporting large floor areas is described. Supplementary investigations of floor loading are recommended.
