A 1.5″ thick standard concrete countertop has an approximate weight of 18.75 pounds per square foot. Granite is approximately 18 pounds per square foot. Most building codes require a minimum design load for a floor of about 65lbs per square foot. A typical cabinet will support the concrete weight. A preliminary assessment can be done to determine structural load capacity.
