Weights of Materials
Description
Table 1.1 provides weights of some common materials used in residential construction. Many times when in the field, changes are required, and the variation in weight of the material may need to be taken into consideration. Because of the infinite possibilities, the table provides only a sampling of common materials, and should be used only for rules of thumb. Once the actual product is selected, a final evaluation related to weight and the relationship to the structure and supporting elements should occur.
