October 24, 201114 yr Good Morning Friends,What would be the load capacity on a floor with 2 x 8 x 14' covered with 3/4 sheathing glued down to the joists? The span would be 12' maximum.
October 25, 201114 yr Author Good Morning All,I can't believe that I fooled everyone with this quiz but, it seems that I did. So folks here is the answer as per the load capacity in my teachers manual.10 pounds dead load and 40 pounds of live load. Live load? What is that? A live load is anything that is moving above the floor such as people moving back and forth or water in a hot tub flowing back and forth can be considered as a live load for it displaces water from one area to another.
