WAC 296-150V-0930
When are structural load tests or
structural calculations required? (1) A structural analysis is
required when a unit has a concentrated floor load of 500 pounds or
more in a 16 square feet or less area.
(2) The structural load test can be used as an alternative.
(a) A structural assembly tested for qualification must
sustain the design dead load plus the superimposed design live
loads for vendor units and medical units assembly.
(b) An assembly failure is defined as a rupture, fracture, or
residual deflection which is greater than the limits.
Note:
We will provide test procedure forms upon request.
