Session Details

1.5 PDHs / 0.2 IACET CEUs

Steel floor and roof deck manufacturers publish load tables for uniform loads, but what if the loads 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 SEU Session will provide designers with the rationale needed to better analyze these loading conditions to ensure a proper design.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop “simple” load diagrams based on recognized load distribution.
  • Understand deck limit states under concentrated loads.
  • Identify current and expanded SDI design approaches for concentrated loads.
  • Review example problems for design with concentrated loads.

Session Registration Emails will be sent on Friday, June 7th.

Session Handouts will be made available by Tuesday, June 11th.
