How would you solve this surface with beam/floor joist?
Beams dimension 45x220mm c24 will hold. C-c 600mm works but probably does not meet the deflection requirements. C-c 300mm I believe does. On top of the beams, you'll likely place floor particle board, and it's important to screw and glue it down as it stiffens significantly. One or two rows of cross-bracing also help.
If you google wood floor structures and span tables, you'll find charts.

I want it to be as rigid as possible, so I thought it would require some support beams on 460 with about 300 in between or similar along the short side.J Jc1972 said:Beams dimension 45x220mm c24 will do.
