- The maximum distribution load intensity or maximum permissible floor load
- The maximum linear load or maximum permissible floor running load
The maximum distribution load intensity is the maximum static mass per unit area which the floor is designed to continuously carry. The distribution load intensity can be calculated by dividing the load by the floor area it covers or the contact area: Load intensity = Load / Floor area covered or contact area.
The floor area that is covered by the cubic container is: 0.9 m x 0.9 m = 0.81 m2.
Thus, the maximum mass that can be loaded in the cubic container is: Max Load = Max Load intensity x Floor area covered = 240 kg/m2 x 0.81 m2 = 194.4 kg.
