all depends how the floor is constructed and the size of the joists, the span of the joists, thickness of floorboards. Is it a concrete floor. Is it a 'live' load like people of furniture or a 'dead' load like an unsupported wall. It the house an old building or of recent construction. A residential standard suggests 40lb per square foot. Needs confirmation though
A foot span is a term used in the roofing industry to calculate the area of a roof. It is necessary to calculate how many shingles per foot. This measurement will vary depending on the type of shingles used.
A span is not a standard measure, a foot is. So there is no definitive answer.
Tell us the size of the span, and what it is made from, and we may be able to get you an estimate. A single 6 foot board is 5 seconds, a 300 foot long concrete and steel span takes a little longer.
