How do you convert kn to occupancy load?
To convert kilonewtons (kn) to occupancy load, you need to know the weight-bearing capacity of the floor. Occupancy load is typically measured in pounds per square foot or kilograms per square meter depending on the building code. Once you have the weight-bearing capacity of the floor, you can calculate the occupancy load by dividing the capacity by the force exerted by the kn.
What wall supports loads in addition to its own weight?
A wall that bears the load of a roof, floor or another wall above it, is carrying a load other than its own weight and is called a load-bearing wall.

What is end bearing?
There are multiple uses of the term in the construction field, but end bearing is a term which usually specifies that a member (a floor joist for example) is resting on or abuting a vertical member (a load bearing wall for example). The more the end bearing (the area of vertical wall contacting the separate member) the more the load can be distributed evenly. In the example given, if the horizontal member supported more weight than the end bearing capacity, it could crush the sill of the load bearing wall and cause the system to fail.
How much force does a floor exert on you?
The force a floor exerts on you is equal and opposite to your weight. This force is known as the normal force, which supports your weight and prevents you from falling through the floor. The magnitude of this force depends on your mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
What is Load-bearing?
Load Bearing - something that bears a load. Like a load bearing wall in a house. The wall is holding something up like the roof, another floor, etc.
