Live Loads Clause Samples
The 'Live Loads' clause defines the requirements and limitations regarding the weight and movement of people, furniture, equipment, and other temporary items within a building or leased space. It typically specifies the maximum load that floors or structural elements can safely support, often measured in pounds per square foot, and may require tenants or occupants to avoid exceeding these limits. This clause ensures the structural integrity of the property and allocates responsibility for preventing damage or unsafe conditions caused by excessive or improper loading.

Live Loads. Live loads shall consist of uniform live loads and equipment live loads. These uniform live loads shall not be applied to floor areas which will be permanently covered with equipment. Equipment live loads are calculated loads based upon the actual weight and size of the equipment and parts. Equipment live loads shall also include loading to be placed on floors during dismantling, or temporarily placed on or moved over floors during installation. Floors and supporting members which are subject to heavy equipment live loads shall be designed on the basis of the weight of the equipment in addition to a uniform load of 50 psf, or specifically defined live loads, whichever is greater. Each member in the floor which may carry these loads shall be designed for the heaviest piece or pieces of equipment arranged in the most critical position. - FLOOR LIVE LOADS. Ground floor slabs shall be designed for a minimum of 250 psf in equipment laydown areas and all areas where 2-ton forklift operation is determined during the design. Consideration shall be given to designing appropriate areas of the ground floor for support of heavy equipment such as construction and maintenance cranes. Slabs for control and switchgear areas shall be designed for a minimum of 150 psf, or the actual weight plus 50 psf for surrounding open areas. Ground floor slabs for shops and auxiliary buildings shall be designed for 150 psf. Storage areas shall be designed for the actual weight of the stored material, but no less than 150 psf in light storage areas and 250 psf in heavy storage areas (maintenance shop). Suspended grating floors shall be designed for a loading of 100 psf to supporting members. The grating itself shall be designed for 150 psf (dead plus live loads) to minimize deflection. --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ EPC - Exhibit B ------------------------ TENASKA GEORGIA GENERATION PROJECT Page 30 of 132 --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - SUSPENDED FLOORS.

Live Loads. The bridge shall be designed for live loads of IRC Class 70-R loading or of IRC Class “A” loading or a combination of these loadings that can be accommodated within the carriageway to produce most severe stresses.
Live Loads. Design live loads shall be not less than those stipulated by the applicable code and, in addition, shall be not less than the minimum live loads specified in Table “Minimum Design Live Loads” below which include imposed loads relating to operational and maintenance of the terminal buildings. If the Contractor proposes to use a reduction in the intensity of imposed roof loading as listed below for any particular ancillary building, he shall be obliged to satisfy the Engineer as to the validity and appropriateness of the reduced value.

Equipment loading conditions associated with assembly and maintenance activities in combination with circulation/access loading shall be considered and the worst condition adopted for design. Particular attention should be paid to loads arising from equipment requirements.
