A typical car park is about 2.5m wide and 6m long, so 15 sq m. A typical car weighs about 1.5 tonnes, so the load on the floor of a car park is 100 kg per sq m.

I think it would be hard to exceed that with people, without breaking the fire code.
- wiredfool 10y agoDesign loading for human occupancies come in in the range of 100psf, which is something like 500kg/m2. That's roughly one 200lb adult per 2sf. You can pack a _lot_ of humans into a small space. Cars are about half that, because they don't pack well. Of course, libraries are even worse, sometimes you're looking at 300+ psf design loads there.
