Hi
I am wondering if anyone can help me. I want to understand how much force or weight in kilograms the above timbers can handle. For example, I want to install an accumulator in my loft which has 2 x 4 joists with a 3 metre span. The weight of the accumulator when full will be 200 kilos. How can i calculate this.
I also would like to install a sunken bath on the ground floor of my house with the joist being pretty close to 2 x 4's. As the bath would be close to the wall, i would need to cut out about 4 joists and add trimmers. Would the trimmers and sisters need to be doubled or tripled?
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks guys
