Question was posed during recurrent Training, this is the information we have..
Instructor is adamant that the outside dimensions of the area defined by the spreaders disregarding the space inbetween is the area to use for the calculations thus giving a floor load of 444kg/m2
I disagree to this and say in order to calculate the area load in order to ensure floor load limitations are not exceed, you only calculate the area in contact with the floor.. thus giving 667kg/m2
Spreaders assumed to be suitable...
Does this change anything ??
