Engineering Question
I have a engineering question for the CP brain trust. I live in a 1,486 SF house that is very old (built in 1910) and the primary structure of the house, including the foundation is wood. My girlfriend and I are thinking of hosting a Christmas Party and the guest list is roughly 60 people. Assuming 80% are able to make it that’s still 48 people and I have concerns about the houses ability to accommodate that much weight from a structural perspective.
Does anyone know the floor load capacity for old homes? Back in 1910 I don’t think they engineered houses to take on that much weight. I took a look on-line and surprisingly there isn’t much information. Any help or opinions are welcomed.
