in building a house how do i fugure pounds per square feet, inch and linear feet?

Answer 1

if you mean what is the weight of your house in pounds/sq foot.

You would need to work out the total load going onto the foundtions, this process involves finding out the densities of each material and multiplying it by the appropriate dimensions. There are actually standardised weights of floor constructions and roof constructions in the British Standards but there in kN/sqm, I cant remember which ones they are in of the top of my head. But you would work out the worst case on one of the edges of your house in kN/m (including the wall) and the divide that by the width of the foundations of your house.

You need a structural engineer really, its not someone can do on their own and put their name to it.

Answer 2

use the back of a dictionary as it has the imfomation you want pounds too metric inches too metric or the other way round
wish you the best of luck in building ifi can help again just drop me a line
you will find all you want on the net or go too your local council for information

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but if you don't know those things you probably shouldn't be building a house.

Answer 4

find the density RATE of each material....(units of lbs/ft or lbs/in) then multiply by the cubic ft. or cubic inches.

make sure your units match.

units cancel out to be 'pounds' (lbs.)
