Plywood Vertical Load Capacity
Plywood Vertical Load Capacity
(OP)
Supports are at 12" o.c.
3/4" T&G, 5-ply, 5-layer plywood
Where can I find a load capacity for plywood.
If I put two layers down, does this double the load capacity?

The supporting members and footings will be designed to support the load - whatever it is.
Owner is asking for at least 100 psf would like 150 psf live load.
I am shooting for whatever I can get with two layers of plywood.
Floor joists will be size & spaced accordingly.
Wall studs will match spacing of floor joists
Footing will be sized for the dead load and live load of what it is supporting

Also - make sure he is not running steel wheeled carts on this. Those will eat plywood - layer by layer.
