Interior wall weight per square foot of floor area =<br />
@ Roof = ½(5 psf) = 2.5 psf<br />
@ Floor = ½(2)(5 psf) = 5 psf<br />
Roof weight = 15 psf(1,836 ft 2 ) = 2,7540 lb<br />
Floor weight = 10 psf(1,500 ft 2 ) = 1,5000 lb<br />
Interior walls weight = 5 psf(1,500 ft 2 ) = 7,500 lb @ Second floor<br />
= 2.5 psf(1,500 ft 2 ) = 3,750 lb @ Roof<br />
Exterior Walls (Long Walls)<br />
To Roof = (2)(50)(9)(1/2)(7) = 3,150 lb<br />
To 2 nd Floor = (2)(3,150) = 6,300 lb<br />
Exterior Walls (Short Walls)<br />
To Roof = (2)(30)(9)(1/2)(7) = 1,890 lb<br />
To 2 nd Floor = (2)(1890) = 3,780 lb<br />
Total Load at Roof = 3,150 + 1,890 = 5,040 lb<br />
Total Load at 2 nd Floor= 6,300 + 3,780 = 10,080 lb
