Hi, We want to change a gym in M1 zone to a warehouse, the gym has never been used as a warehouse before, the floor slab thickness is 5", 3000psi, fiber mesh only, is this thick enough for using as a warehouse? or does this comply to the warehouse live load building requirement? Thanks
Thanks. one more question, there are a number of pits on the floor, the size of the largest one is about 20feet by 20 feet and 6feet deep, we are planning to refill these pits with gravel and concrete, will these pits be a problem for changing a gym to a warehouse?
Hi
Thank you all for your input. The gym has no zoning problem. My big concern is the 5" slab, it is fiber enforced, no rebar, no steel wire mesh, can this kind of floor be used for warehouse? do I need to have a core test? is there a way to modify and improve the existing slab with no rebar...
Hi
Is it possible to change a gym into a industrial warehouse? the gym was originally built as a gym with a small warehouse for gym equipment, the slab thickness is 5" (3500psi). Is the building code of a gym similar to that of a commercial warehouse? there is no zoning problem.
Thanks
Michael
