"...this web site is a 'Godsend' for me. If I have a programming problem that I'm unable to solve, I'll get a sensible reply in no time. It's really great!..."
I am trying to figure out the maximum psf dead load I can put on 2"x10" floor joists that are 16" on center. The span is 25 linear feet with a load bearing wall running down the center (which makes the true span 12.5 linear feet?)The floor was built 100 years ago so the lumber is actual 2"x10" and very, very, dense. I am trying to put some acoustical upgrades to the floor and shooting for a max total dead load of 25 psf which includes all flooring, subflooring, underlayments, and the ceiling materials underneath the flooring. Oh, by the way, the exterior walls are true brick/stone with balloon framing (if that information is helpful?)
