Basic load calculation

TCVN 2737:2023

Dead load of floor finish layers + live load by room use, per TCVN 2737:2023 — covers uniformly distributed loads only; wind/seismic/load combinations are out of scope.

About the floor load calculator

Add up dead load from floor build-up layers (tiling, plaster, RC slab…) with live load looked up by room occupancy, per TCVN 2737:2023.

What you enter

The list of build-up layers with their unit dead loads, and the room's occupancy class (residential, office, storage…) used to look up live load.

What the results mean

The combined uniformly distributed floor load (kN/m²) shown step by step with applied assumptions — the direct input for load combinations.

When to use this tool

Step one of structural design: establish floor loads before sizing beams, columns and footings; sanity-checking standard loads quoted in coursework.

Calculation method

This tool sums the dead load of floor finish layers (tiling, mortar, RC slab…) with the uniformly distributed live load looked up by room use, per TCVN 2737:2023.

Enter the finish layers with their dead loads and pick a room use; the tool combines them into one uniformly distributed floor load, showing each calculation step with the assumptions applied.
