Isokern IBV-36 - Combustible Floor System Loading

10
Combustible Floor System Loading
Important:
Floor framing for IBV installation will need to
be designed and built to accept substantial dead loads spread
over a relative small oor area. (Figure 1)
The following weights and sizes can be used to
calculate loading. It is the contractor’s responsibility to provide
adequate oor system load capacity.
IBV Weights and Load Calculations:
Total dead load amounts include (but are not necessarily limited
to) the following items and their corresponding weight estimates
as listed below:
1. Isokern unit model weights:
a. IBV-46: 1400 lb
b. IBV-36: 1200 lb
2. Approximate weight of log set: 100 lb.
3. Fire brick and mortar: 350 lb.
4. Facing material: per general contractor
5. B-Vent metal ue: per manufacturer
The oor area for each model is as follows:
IBV-46 @ 53” x 25.25” = 9.30 sq. ft.
IBV-36 @ 43” x 25.25” = 7.54 sq. ft.
Notes:
1. Earthcore is not responsible for structural oor support
details for this replace system. Unless otherwise noted all
oor framing drawings in this manual are merely illustrations
to indicate the presence of an underlying oor system.
2. Consult your local structural engineer for proper oor system
design, sizing and specications.
