I am building a 2 story polebarn. I need the floor between the 2 stories to be cement and capable of holding the weight of a motorhome and extras.I want the floor constructed of Bar joists with a composite deck on the joists so a cement floor can be poured.The lower level will have poured concrete walls 10' high and that will be the support structure for the bar joists.The building is 32' by 48 ' The floor joists need to span the 32'width.
What i am looking for--- the thickness of the cement walls that are required to hold the weight of the cemcent floor and pole barn above. The quanity and size of the Bar joists. What thicknes of composite decking would I require?
