For production modifications, how to determine the load-bearing capacity of a structure
Thread Content
I have a new small project in which I plan to renovate an existing old factory building. Since the equipment varies in weight, I would like to know how to determine the maximum weight that the building’s load-bearing beams can support, based on their dimensions. Are there any relevant empirical data, such as: what is the cross-sectional area of the load-bearing beams, what is their length, and what weight can they support?
The reinforcement design firm is responsible for conducting the calculations and then developing the reinforcement plan
Check whether the cross-sections and reinforcement of the original beams and columns meet the specification requirements based on their weight after renovation; if not, reinforcement is necessary
