Non-Uniform and Concentrated Loading on Steel Deck [E25]

Deck manufacturers publish load tables for uniform loads, but what if the loads that are on your project are not uniform? Designers frequently face concentrated loads caused by rack systems, forklifts, scissor lifts, mechanical equipment, RTUs, and other dead, live, or construction loads.This session expands upon current ANSI-SDI and ACI specifications for analysis of multiple concentrated or unbalanced load groups, introduces new methodology/rational analysis not found existing literature, and reviews new SDI design manuals.
