200 kip vehicle load
has anyone heard of a 200 kip vehicle load? i am supposed to design a concrete slab with a 200-kip rated hatch. that is all the info i have for it. i was wondering if anyone has heard of this loading and does it cover a specified area? or is it just a point load? i am curious because i need to design the slab thick enough so this hatch doesnt shear-punch through the slab when loaded!
do you have a supervisor on this job? he is the proper source to get answers.
i've heard of permit vehicles in that range but never a 200-kip wheel load, for a truck. the 200-k would be distributed over many axles.
aircraft wheel loads could be in that range.are you designing the hatch for a dc-10?
no its not an airport, i believe airplane loads that we design for are 183-kip. i was thinking maybe a giant forklift for some port?
oh wait! nevermind all! the customer just called and says the contractor is jumping the gun. but, it turns out it was a 747 airplane, and the load was 800-kips spread over three axles.
so thank you bridgebuster for your comment! but i guess this slab was just another pipe-dream.
