When a standard bathtub is filled with a person and water, where is the weight carried in the house? By the studs it's nailed to, or by the floor? Or is it some of both?
I'm wondering about floor deflection beneath a tub. Seems to me a tub could easily exceed 40lbs per sq ft, so I'm assuming the walls bear some load. But is it almost all the load, or is it shared with the floor?
