Calculating the Maximum Floor Load
Calculating the Maximum Floor Load
(OP)
Could you tell me specificly how to calculate the maximum floor load for the following type of floor:
Oak wooden floor of 1 inch thickness sitting on latts of approximately 3-5 inch square in thickness, and in turn sitting on 2-3 foot of stone (or up to one metre)?
Oak wooden floor of 1 inch thickness sitting on latts of approximately 3-5 inch square in thickness, and in turn sitting on 2-3 foot of stone (or up to one metre)?






RE: Calculating the Maximum Floor Load
You'll need to describe your floor a little better.
What are latts?
What does 3-5 inches square in thickness mean? All of this sits on stone which is 2 or 3 feet thick? Are we to assume the stone is based on terra ferma or is it sitting on something else?

I think we are all having difficulty imaging the floor framing system you describe.
Is this floor system directly supported on the ground, or is is suspended?
