Hi everyone. First post and need help lol.

Have a client who wants to use 3/16" steel diamond plate flooring for a second floor of a storage garage. I'm looking for a load rating (of sorts) to determine max live load. Been browsing sites with no luck. Any help or direction is appreciated.

Structures is not my strong point. I'm an E&S guy.
