Floor loading

Floor loading capacity (point load, uniformly distributed load, line load)... 

Heavy floor loadings and the use of ride-on electric trucks demand a strong, hard-working floor surface, which must be within the insulation envelope. 

Transportation and unpacking of munitions Munitions are moved from igloos to the MDB in on-site containers (ONCs), which are received at a separate container handling building (CHB) and lifted to the second floor unpack area, where the munitions are unpacked and put on input conveyers to the MDB. Munitions are moved from igloos in modified ammunition vans to the MDB ground floor loading dock instead of a CHB. Munitions are unpacked there and put on conveyers.

Floor loading. The first, floor loading is the result of studies of probable loads, resulting from lead shielding walls and plug coffins.. The floor designed for these, conce.ntrated loads allows 900, 1b. p,er, square foot of uniform load. Concentrated loads in excess of 4000 lb per square foot can.be... 

The floor beams of a North London building were strengthened in 1978 to allow for increased floor loadings following a change in use. The factor of safety provided by the existing structure, in the... 

The structural floor load is simulated by an additional mass of 5 tons on top of the wall. The resulting average compressive stress in the wall is about 0.5 MPa for the short wall and about 0.17 MPa for the long one. These values are in the usual range of the compression level for this type of masonry.

Next step in the design process is drawing the functional requirements specification (FRS), also called the physical requirements specification. The FRS documents elaborated demands for connections, heat burden, floor load, acoustic demands, specifications of the walls, HVAC etc.

Derrick floors, (i) A derrick floor shall be fully decked and/or planked and the steel member connections completed to support the intended floor loading.

Facility restrictions. Are overhead heights or floor loading capacities adequate for supporting and accommodating eqnipment Is there sufficient plant area Will the fixed-path system impede access to equipment and the flow of personnel and other materials within the plant ... 

At this point in warehouse planning, the planner should calculate the floor load resulting from the fully loaded pallet rack. The floor loading will become a design parameter for new construction. In the case of an existing facility, the floor will be confirmed as adequate or the rack arrangement will be shown to be unfeasible. 

However, since the power spectra of the excitation forces are available and the structure Is assumed to be linear, the power spectral method can be applied to determine first and second moment of the response. Hence, carring out a Fourier transform of these matrix equations, the mechanical transfer functions of the structure con be established, in order to reduce the computational effort only the mechanical transfer functions of the top floor deflections and the first floor load effects are determined explicitly. Considering these transfer functions the matrix of the power spectra of the response quantities can be determined as follows. 

The second effect which is investigated in detail Is the influence of the variation of the soil properties - i.e. the shear modulus G and the shear wave velocity Vg - as it is shown in Fig. 6. Again, these parameters significanlty influence the powers spectra of the response quantities - e.g. the power spectra of the first floor load effects.

If available, the dynamic load specifications, e.g. of centrifuges or decanters, crushers and mills, sieve units etc., have to be taken into account. Finally, load specifications have to be made regarding the hoisting devices, roof cranes, general floor load etc. provided in the plant...
