3 kpa floor loading.
This is correct only for a textbook oversimplified answer.

The imposed loading on a office commercial use building is generally 3 kpa 3000 kg per sqm.
3 1 3 the imposed loads as given in clause 3 2 to 3 5 shall be.
Or b a concentrated load or line load q k in kn or kn m as appropriate.
4 kn m x 1 m 4 kn weight you can convert to kg by dividing by 9 8 so that is 408 kg.
2 5 kn m2 for floors above ground floor and 3 0 kn m2 at or below ground floor over may be more appropriate with 7 5 kn m2 over 5 of the floor area to allow for future flexibility.
A typical wood frame floor covered with carpet or vinyl flooring has a dead load of about 8 pounds per square foot.
Therefore if you plan on converting a commercial property to residential the floor is capable to withstand the higher loads and meet the requirements.
3 1 4 the uniformly distributed load q k and the concentrated load or line load q k shall be.
And a residential use building is 1 5 kpa 1500 kg per sqm.
For example historically uk office buildings have been designed and marketed with live loadings of 3 5 4 0 kn m2 however this may be an over provision.
1 0 m 2 of floor the loading over the 1 0 m area is 2 0 kpa.
Add an allowance for partitions normally added on top of the imposed floor loading for example you might have a total imposed floor load 3 5kn m2 made up of 2 5kn m2 1 0kn m2 for partitions change the utilisation factor from 1 00 assumed here see note 3 to 0 80 commonly assumed by designers.
3 6 kpa 115 psi 792 9 kpa maximum 1075 lb 487 6 kg 141 9 psf 6 8 kpa 215 psi 1482 4 kpa maximum wheel load the maximum pressure that any one tire exerts on the floor while supporting its rated load this is relevant to.
4 kpa is 4 kn m.
Whichever shall produce the most adverse effect.
2 3 3 minimum floor live loads the minimum floor live loads shall be the greatest actual imposed loads resulting from the intended use or occupancy of the floor and shall not be less than the uniformly distributed load patterns specified in sec 2 3 4.
If there s wall board covered ceiling suspended from the underside of that floor the dead load increases to about 10 pounds per square foot.
The dead load on a floor is determined by the materials used in the floor s construction.
