Designed spanning between wind posts and other lateral walls max span between is 5.5m other are far less. Design Philosophy: Building Type: Two-storey domestic proposed houses constructed from load bearing masonry, concrete ground floors. Roof Construction: Trussed timber rafters supported on inner leaf of external walls. Floor Construction: Suspended conerete ground floor. Wall Construction: Load bearing cavity masonry to all external walls and main cross walls with 100mm thick flint external skin. Foundations: 500mm wide trench fill mass concrete based on an average of 150kN/m2 for this location in Norfolk United Kingdom ref Appendix A.
