Weight Limits On Container Store Elfa System How Much Weight Can My Floor Hold?

How much weight can my floor hold? - weight limits on container store elfa system

Can someone explain or show how to calculate given the size limit load beam? The beams of the room in question are 6 to 8 cm high, 1.5 and 2 cm thick, are 9 to 14 inches (usually about 10 cm) and about 12 feet long. House was built in the 1950s.

As to what is in the room much weight on the shelves. Overall, I think, about 1700 pounds of material, including the weight of shelves, bins, and of course everyone who walked in the room (it is 12'x12 '). So I guess 2000 + lbs.

I have to put aside most of the metro's son, the 36 "x18", which I am a little worried because the weight is divided into 4 small points, not uniformly over the entire length of the platform.

It's a party without falling through, primarily, but I'm happy about, especially since 3 of the shelves are in the middle of the room uneasily. Ideas?

When the 2000 books were also in the area of 12'x12 ', then running approximately 14 PSF distributed. According to the diagrams in the wide-track 6 to 8 cm, 10-12 cm above the middle bars are classified into 10 psf dead load (furniture and other items a little harder) and 40 PSF overload) (people's feet. In the long run seems to be that their situation is not ideal. One thing you can do to lighten the load of the plates is localized spread, lay a thick board and shelves in it. That's at least spread the load a little more than 4 small feet.
