[QUOTE="A5Sooner, post: 2509366, member: 13037"] 260 lbs/sq. ft. Is a lot. International building code requires armories to have a minimum uniformly distributed live load capacity of 150 #/sq. ft. Concentrated load (as in your safe) isn't specified because of how quickly the weight can add up and these areas; they need to be designed specifically for what will be stored. If I were you, shore it near the corners to the ground and add joist hangers. That's a lot of stress on wood floor joists. Better safe (get it?) than sorry. [/QUOTE]
