Weight of brick wall in KN

[emphasis303]

Hello Everyone

What is the weight of a single storey solid double skin brick wall in KN.

Thank you

For low-density bricks, it would be around 4.4 kN/sq m; for medium-density bricks, about 5 kN/sq m. (not including weight of plaster etc).

Thanks for your reply

What is a suspended timber floor with 8x3 joists, timber floorboards and 18mm chipboard?

Thank you

Don't confuse your weights (kg) with loads (kN). It would help if you elaborated on the actual point of your question

Strictly speaking, aren't YOU confusing weight with force?

Between 2.00 and 2.20kN/m² dead and live.

Strictly speaking weight and force are the same thing - measured in Newtons. The kg is the si unit for mass.

As everyone else is being pedantic...

Strictly speaking, weight is an applied load due to the force of gravity. A force can act in any direction, but weight can only act vertically downwards...

Is this Strictly Speaking the programme that's on BBC1 on Saturdays?

Tony should tune in if it's celebrities discussing structural mechanics

Strictly Come Building...I can see it taking off

Or sidewards if you're on the side of the Earth.

There is 'structural design' and 'mechanical engineering', but I've not come across 'stuctural mechanics'

'Mechanics' implies a mechanism, which of course moves; structures are not supposed to move (unless its one of your beams which has gone south).

I'll refer you to your deflection thread. Lots of movement there

Good point, but I've got a book on my desk at work called Structural Mechanics...

Or upwards if you're at the South Pole...

OK, should have qualified "downwards" with "towards the centre of the heavenly body upon which the object currently finds itself".
There is no up or down in space
