Structural Review of Existing Structure for Anticipated Construction Loads.

We have a project that requires a review of an existing structure to ensure that construction equipment placed on the structure will not cause damage. The equipment that is planned for this project is as follows: • Track mini-excavator • Track skid steer loader (2 possibilities-walk behind and ride on) • Skid steer loader The attached file “Spec for Equipment” provides the estimated weight of each piece of equipment. The files are too large to attache. Here is the link to our FTP/box net site where the drawings and specs are located: [login to view URL] Here are the key that need to be considered for this evaluation: • Calculations need to be signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer in the District of Columbia – Washington DC, US. • The seal and signature will need to be a wet seal, electronic seals and signatures are not accepted. • According to Drawing C-02, Reservoir loading note 2, the loading shall not exceed 275psf. This is 2ft of soil and 35psf live load. • The column spacing is 16ft each way per Drawing S-03. • The allowable live load is 35psf x 16ft x 16ft = 8,960 pounds • Drawing C-02 has the notes loading limitations • Spec 01 14 00 section 1.3.2 gives more information
