Re: Rolling Files

300 psf is a minimum for me on these. Often they're in the 260 psf range from the cut sheets, but I still use 300.

Get the cut sheet from the architect to make sure you're okay.

Paper media is 33 pcf, film media is 50 pcf.  I would use these number to derive the load based on actual shelving size. In a fully stacked position, there is no access, so basically w x d x h for the entire unit x the applicable media density.   The media densities are from CBC T-24 table 16A-B footnote 12.   Rick --- On Tue, 5/19/09, Thor Tandy <vicpeng@telus.net> wrote: From: Thor Tandy <vicpeng@telus.net> Subject: Rolling Files To: "SEAInt" <seaint@seaint.org> Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 6:27 AM Morning. Does anyone have an idea what to use for "rolling files" live load?  I have a # of 14kPa (300psf+/-). "Rolling files" are such as moveable library files and book stands. Possibly moveable warehouse storage shelving .? TIA Thor A.
