I am currently expanding my house with a proper hallway and a partition wall where I will place an accumulator tank.
Since an accumulator tank, filled with 750 liters, weighs around 1 ton, I am wondering how best to handle this.
I plan to build with 45x195 timber and 60cc between the floor joists, and specifically around the accumulator tank, create a denser floor grid to support the enormous load. So far, I have purchased 6 foundation blocks, each 70cm, and we'll see if that's enough. I don't need any foundations on one side as it will be attached to the current log house.
I am essentially placing all of this on the existing ground without digging and laying gravel, because there used to be a porch here before, and the ground is made of the same material as the rest of the crawl space foundation that the house stands on.
I mainly want clarification on whether 45x195 is sufficient to support the tank, and also the snow loads. The roof will have a 45º angle, I live in snow zone 3, and I have NOT bought the timber from Byggmax.
