To calculate the Floor Weight Capacity:
\[ FC = FA \times CPA \]
Where:
Floor Weight Capacity refers to the maximum weight that a floor can support without failing. It is calculated based on the total area of the floor and its capacity to support weight per unit area. This measure is crucial in construction and design to ensure that floors are built to handle expected loads safely.
Example 1: If the total floor area (FA) is 500 ft² and the capacity per unit of area (CPA) is 10 lb/ft²:
\[ FC = 500 \times 10 = 5000 \text{ lbs} \]
The Floor Weight Capacity is 5000 lbs.
Example 2: If the total floor area (FA) is 300 ft² and the capacity per unit of area (CPA) is 8 lb/ft²:
\[ FC = 300 \times 8 = 2400 \text{ lbs} \]
The Floor Weight Capacity is 2400 lbs.
