Designing steel walkways in a factory 1

[Echan]

Hello,

I'm looking for any reference websites or books where I could find useful information on building and designing walkways in a industrial setting.

Thanks

Etienne

There are websites by the hundreds on this subject. You might look to see how others do it, and pattern your project after them.

Don't hesitate to engage a qualified consultant briefly. He will walk thru this without making serious mistakes. Remember, we are talking about a human walkway.

try ASCE 7-02 "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures"

Osha also has some info:

Civil Engineers must deal with this issue all the time. Try looking through a civil engineering handbook.
