A deck with 2x6 joists spaced 16 inches on center (oc) can typically support a live load of around 40 pounds per square foot (psf) and a dead load of 10 psf, totaling approximately 50 psf. The exact weight capacity will depend on factors such as the type of wood used, the length of the joists, and local building codes. For more precise calculations, it’s advisable to consult a structural engineer or refer to local building codes.

How much weight can A DECK SUPPORT?
It depends on how the deckis "engineered". Some could be built that are barely able to support their own weight. Others could be built strong enough to park your car on them. It depends on the type and dimension of wood used for the joists, the spacing between joists and the length of the span.
How much weight can hardwood flooring support between joists?
Typically you would not put hardwood flooring directly over the joists. You should first put down a subfloor.
How much weight can joists hold?
That depends upon the size of the joists & grade/species of wood
How much weight can 2x8 floor joists hold?
That depends on how well supported the floor is and that depends on how far apart the joists are placed. The closer they are, the more weight can be supported.
How much overlap is required when sistering joists?
When sistering joists, it is recommended to have at least 3 feet of overlap for proper support and stability.
How much weight can ceiling joists hold?
Ceiling joists can typically hold between 10-20 pounds per square foot, depending on the material and size of the joists. It is important to consult a structural engineer or building code regulations for specific weight limits in your area.
How much weight will deck hold?
120 pounds
How much weight can a deck hold per square foot?
Depends on the structural integrity of the deck.
How much can a deck made with 2x10's at 16 inches on center support?
How long are the 2x10's, what is supporting the deck and how is the deck attached to that support. A lot of factors go into figuring load limits.
How much weight can a 2x8x10' support?
not much
What is the maximum span on a double 2x12 beam supporting 2x8 ceiling rafters and an acoustical ceiling?
Depends on the area above the ceiling joists. Is it a live load (living space) or dead load (just the joists with maybe an attic above)? Also, the length of the ceiling joists from the last bearing point is a factor. How much weight is bearing on the beam is the critical issue.
Can you skate with a cracked deck?
Yes , you can skate with a cracked deck as long as the board has enough strength to have the weight of the person on it without bending too much
