[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone tried this? I did some basic math and it seems like it would support the weight of a small two person inflatable hot tub. Just wondering if anyone's attempted this or had any experience with this. Thank you![/quote] First, I assume you added in the weight of the water. In most hot tubs, the weight of the water is more than the weight of the hot tub (most of them are made of pretty lightweight materials like fiberglass). Assuming you did that, how old is the building? Materials, including concrete deteriorate and weaken over time (see news about the Surfside condominiums). You should assume weakening of the material for roughly every 10 years of life. If the concrete is 30-50 years old, I would definitely not do it. At 50 years, concrete is known to be considerably weaker than when new.[/quote]
