Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les planchers doivent supporter leur poids propre et les surcharges prévues au programme de construction [...] Surcharges : fixes (cloisons, mobilier fixe, machines), mobiles (surcharges d'utilisation variant de 150 kg/m [carré] pour l'habitation normale à plusieurs tonnes/m [carré] pour les bâtiments industriels). 7, record 1, French, - surcharge%20du%20plancher
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Il convient de distinguer deux classes parmi les charges : d'une part les "charges permanentes" [...]; d'autre part, les "surcharges", qui n'ont qu'un caractère temporaire [...] [Toutefois,] on emploie fréquemment le terme de "charge" pour désigner une surcharge [...] 8, record 1, French, - surcharge%20du%20plancher
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Aucune des sources françaises consultées n'emploie le terme "effort", comme le faisait la Recommandation 830 de l'ISO, de 1968. D'ailleurs, dans la norme ISO-830 de 1981, qui l'a remplacée, on trouve maintenant "floor loading capability" pour l'anglais et, en français, "aptitude au chargement du plancher", ce que l'Encyclopédie de la manutention appelle, avec plus de bonheur, la "capacité de charge" (vol. 3, p. 49). 9, record 1, French, - surcharge%20du%20plancher
