What is a Floor Loading Calculator?

A floor loading calculator is a tool that estimates the maximum load that a floor can support based on factors such as floor area, floor material, and the type of occupancy.

Why use a Floor Loading Calculator?

1. Safety Assurance: Ensures that the floor is designed to safely support the expected loads.
2. Code Compliance: Helps comply with building codes and standards related to floor loading capacities.
3. Design Optimization: Assists in optimizing the design of the floor for specific occupancy types.
4. Material Selection: Supports decisions on the selection of floor materials based on load-bearing requirements.

How to use a Floor Loading Calculator:

1. Input the total floor area (in square feet).
