IMPERIAL TABLE OF SAFE LOADS

U – Safe Uniform Load, in lbs. per sq.ft.
C – Safe Concentrated Load in lbs. per foot of grating width.
D – Deflection in inches.
Loads and deflections given in this table are theoretical and are based on a maximum allowable fibre stress of 18,000 P.S.I.

NOTE: Spans and loads to the right of the heavy line exceed a deflection of 1/4″ for uniform loads of 100 pounds per square foot. Experience has shown that 1/4″ deflection is the maximum deflection for perestrian comfort, but can be exceeded for other types of loads at the discretion of the engineer.
For serrated-surface, increase depth by one size.

Stock mat – nominal 915 mm x 7315 mm
U – Safe Uniform Load, in KN per metre of width.
C – Safe Concentrated Load in lbs. per foot of grating width.
D – Deflection in mm.

Loads and deflections given in this table are theoretical and are based on a maximum allowable fibre stress of 124.0 Mpa

NOTE: Spans and loads to the right of the heavy line exceed a deflection of 1/4″ for uniform loads of 100 pounds per square foot. Experience has shown that 1/4″ deflection is the maximum deflection for pedestrian comfort, but can be exceeded for other types of loads at the discretion of the engineer.
