Dead loads on residential structure
Dead loads on residential structure
(OP)
This may be a bit of a "light" question, but I have to start from something. I am considering what would be my dead loads on a residential single family house. I have the longest bay being about 16'-10" so I am considering 2x10 @ 12" O.C. I also consider that there would be two layers of 3/4" wood on top of that, and another layer of 3/4" below. I wonder what I should add in case there is tiling, for ducts, and pipes, etc. Should DL before LRFD factorization exceed 12 lbf/ft^2?

It absolves me of having to worry about the flooring type etc.
It's never caused significant size difference.
