Guys reading other threads on here just as a general observer has raised a question for a future event we have.
its a warehouse we turn into a dinner in a commercial building ... in the past most everything has been ground supported but it would be great to fly some items as the budget and requirements for the event have increased.
anyway my question is more hypothetical and i'm not our rigger so perhaps its a question for him to teach me and i'm ok if that's the answer ... what and how are load ratings of various trussing calculated. ie is there a way to say ok this is x truss or y i beam so it can should support this much weight based on span and style etc. in the above case its a warren steel beam truss about 40 ft span off top of my head.
perhaps this is an engineers question for the building design to say you can put this much weight on these points or whatever ... sorry this was a rambling but trying to keep it non specific.
