Grating

This document provides calculations to determine the maximum load capacity and deflection of a Safegrid light-duty floor grating system under a combination of uniform distributed load (UDL) and concentrated load. Key specifications of the grating are provided, including bar dimensions and material properties. Calculations show that under a nominated UDL of 49.05 kN/m2 and concentrated load of 60 kN, the actual stress is 151.29 N/mm2 and deflection is 1.70 mm, within acceptable limits. Therefore, the grating is suitable for the specified loading conditions.
