How much weight per square foot will a standard wood framed floor hold?
The answer to this question depends upon several criteria: 1. The span of the floor framing members 2. The 'on center' spacing of the floor framing members 3. The nominal dimension of the floor framing members (2x12 etc.) 4. The grade and species of the wood 5. Size and location of any holes or notches in the framing members A typical residential floor designed for a 10 psf Dead Load, 40 psf Live Load and a deflection criteria of L/360 (mid span deflection limited to L in inches/360): 2x12 joists at 16" on center spacing, Spruce-Pine-Fir #2, will have an allowable max span of 17'-10". 2x12 joists at 16" on center spacing, Southern Pine #2, will have an allowable max span of 18'-10". 2x10 joists at 16" on center spacing, Spruce-Pine-Fir #2, will have an allowable max span of 15'-5". Random thoughts: Thinset ceramic tile with mortar will add about 10 psf dead laod. Location of very heavy objects can be critical when determining a floors capacity.

On a deck what would be the maximum spacing of 2'X12' floor joists on a 20ft span?
Even using a 2x12 the spacing for 20 feet will be less than 12 inches on center. I would recommend splitting the distance with a double beam perpendicular to the joist run. This will allow you to go up to 24 inches on center. Your span will only be ten feet aproximately this way. I would double the beam. (2-2x12 joined together) Good luck. when building your beam make sure the laps on the beam are at least 6 foot apart and put a good wood glue on the 2x12s plus for added strength put 1/2 inch O.S.B. in between the 2x12 and I would also lag or bolt them together, at about 16 to 24 inches O.S.B. = Oscilating Strand Board.
What is the maximum span on a double 2x12 beam supporting a 2nd floor load with no roof load?
About 5metres(16') but would have to be stress graded timber.

Not sure why you need a beam that bears no load. You can go 22'. Beyond that it needs to be broken down to shorter lengths.
What is the maximum span on a triple 2x12 beam supporting a roof?
Triple? That sounds an awful lot like gluelam... Which requires engineer approval to meet code. The inspecting engineer will be able to tell you.

How long to build span for bridge?
Tell us the size of the span, and what it is made from, and we may be able to get you an estimate. A single 6 foot board is 5 seconds, a 300 foot long concrete and steel span takes a little longer.
