					 accessible to the public if all flammable or combustible liquids are dispensed
					 by the service station attendant.
(c) When combustible liquids-such as diesel
					 fuel-are dispensed at an attended self-service station or from a private
					 dispensing device, such as a key or card controlled device, located at the
					 public service area, the nozzle shall be an approved automatic-closing type
					 with or without a hold-open latch. The use of a hold-open latch in connection

Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part I - Department of Labor and Industry › Chapter 15 - GRANDSTANDS › RULES OF CONSTRUCTION › Section 15.14 - Design and workmanship

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) The
				  design of grandstands shall conform to the best modern engineering practice;
				  the design or method of construction shall be in accordance with established
				  principles of mechanics. Prior to granting approval of portable and foldable
				  grandstands, the Department may require that tests be performed under the
				  supervision of a nationally recognized testing laboratory in the presence of a
				  representative of the Department. The test shall be performed upon a full-size,
				  complete structural unit of the grandstand, having the maximum number of rows
				  on which approval is desired. The grandstand being tested shall be loaded,
				  vertically and horizonally, with not less than 1 1/2 times the loads prescribed
				  in §
										15.17 (relating to materials).
				  After removal of the loads, no member of the grandstand may show permanent
				  deformation, nor may the connections or bolt holes show permanent
				  deformity.
(b) Workmanship shall be
				  of such quality as to produce in construction the full strength intended by the
				  designer.
(c) A portable grandstand
				  shall be self-contained, including parts necessary to withstand and restrain
				  forces which may develop during human occupancy. The strength, stability or
				  safety of the structure may not depend upon stakes, curbs, walls or other
				  external objects. A foldable grandstand, if permanently attached to the wall of
				  a building, may depend upon the wall for resistance to horizontal loads, but
				  not for the support of vertical loads.
(d) A grandstand may not be occupied until
				  all parts have been securely assembled in accordance with the approved design
				  and specifications.
(e) Grandstands
				  shall be so designed that the maximum expansion, contraction, settlement or
				  misalignment which may occur during the life of the grandstand will not cause
				  stresses in excess of those specified, nor jeopardize the strength or stability
				  of the structure or the safety of its occupants. The owner shall provide and
				  maintain proper bearing surface for outdoor installations.
(f) The owner of a building in which
				  grandstands are to be used shall provide walls and floors of sufficient
				  strength to withstand the loads and stresses caused by the grandstand when
				  loaded, as specified in § 15.17.
This section cited in 34 Pa. Code §
												15.11 (relating to
						applicability).
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part I - Department of Labor and Industry › Chapter 15 - GRANDSTANDS › RULES OF CONSTRUCTION › Section 15.15 - Loading

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) Seats and foot
				  rests of grandstands shall be designed to support, in addition to their own
				  weight, a uniformly distributed live load of 120 pounds per linear foot of
				  seatboard and footrest. Other parts of grandstands shall be designed to
				  support, in addition to their own weight, a uniformly distributed live and
				  impact load according to the back to back distance between seats as follows:
Back to Back of Seats (in
								inches)
Pounds per Square Foot
22
130
23
125
24
120
25
115
26
110
27
105
More than 27
100
(b)
				  Grandstands shall be designed to resist, when occupied, a horizontal swaying
				  force applied to the seats, in a direction parallel to the length of the seats
				  of 24 pounds per linear foot of seats, and in a direction perpendicular to the
				  length of the seats of ten pounds per linear foot of seats. On grandstands
				  supporting chairs these loads shall be applied at a height of 17 inches above
				  the foot rest.
(c) Grandstands able
				  to be used outdoors shall be designed to resist a horizontal wind load on the
				  vertical projection of the stand, applied in any direction, as follows:
(1) When fully loaded, 4 pounds per square
				  foot.
(2) When unoccupied, if of
				  open construction, 15 pounds per square foot.
(3) When unoccupied, if filled in solid
				  vertically, 30 pounds per square foot.
(4) Vertical projection shall include
				  railings.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) Permanent
				  grandstands for outdoor use shall be erected upon and attached to concrete or
				  masonry footings extending below the surface of the ground to a depth of either
				  3 feet or the maximum depth of frost, whichever is greater, unless solid rock
				  is encountered at a lesser depth.
(b) Portable grandstands shall be provided by
				  the manufacturers with base plates and sills, floor runners or sleepers of such
				  area that the total live and dead load does not exceed 14 pounds per square
				  inch of the base plate, mud sills, floor runners or sleepers. The owner shall
				  see that all bearing surfaces are in contact.
(c) Base plates, mud sills or another part of
				  the structure in contact with the earth may be subject to no stresses other
				  than those caused by the vertical forces resulting from live, dead, sway and
				  wind loads and the horizontal friction resulting from sway and wind loads. The
				  stress shall be limited to those set forth in §
										15.20 (relating to painting and
				  treatment of members) reduced as follows:
(1)
				  For base members of pressure-treated wood, allowable stresses shall be reduced
				  by 1/4.
(2) For base runners of
				  ungalvanized steel, allowable stresses shall be reduced by 2/3.
(3) For base members of galvanized steel, no
				  reduction in allowable stress is required.
