Hardwood floor. Why did I choose the board instead of beams?

Beam or board, what's the difference? The main thing that was carrying a load! But in certain situations, everything has its advantages.

A building with their hands - it's still the same situation.

Therefore, the choice of material, I came up thoroughly, and solved this issue for a long time.

My original data.

For myself, I asked a few points of reference.

1️⃣ No longer spans. In my opinion the long spans and wooden beams - is incompatible things. And at long distances will not help increase the cross-section beams.

I spans 3 meters and a maximum of 5 (which is also a bit too much) that I will be split into two parts with a transverse reinforcement beam column.

2️⃣ Board - it is the only way out for me.And all because of the work almost single-handedly. With the massive beamed, I can not do it with good intentions.

From these two points I was repelled. And the next step was to determine the reliability.

The main calculation.

❗ reliability overlap - is its main characteristic, with which to begin, especially if like me, when the second floor residential.

There is nothing supernatural. A lot of different tables, and online calculators for all of us to help. And it is better to check several sources to for sure.

So this table indicate that the overlap of the boards 50 to 200 mm will carry a load of 350 to 400 kg / m2.

And online calculators only just, but confirmed the use of the board 50 to 200.

Based on all this, and it was decided to make the overlap of the 200th board.

✅ But all the subtleties of this process is already in the following articles.
