I hope I'm wearing snow shoes if I walk on anything he designed.:grin:
He did say that's the
code. Not necessarily how he would design something. But we all know how hard it is to convince an owner that the design needs to be above and beyond the code
I think his comment was that it was time for a code change.
Anyhow, I thought the same thing at first. It doesn't sound like it would hold up a person, much less a truck.
But thats designed over a large area. And if you figure a truck weighs 2000 lbs, and is maybe 18'x8', that's only about 14 lbs per square foot.
And I don't know if that includes any safety factors. That might mean you start with a 40 lb/sq ft design load, and actually design the structure to stand up to 2 or 3 times that weight.
