When possible, placing floor joist spans continuously instead of using a simply supported single span will maximize floor stiffness. Floor joist-end framing conditions were found to affect fundamental frequency, damping ratio, and span deflection through the partial restraint on joist-end rotations. Led...
stone, granite, marble, and similar floors. We discuss the stiffness of floor framing needed to avoid cracks or loosening of ceramic tile, stone, slate, and similar flooring and we describe alternative methods of floor preparation for tiling. We address the floor framing and subflooring details...
Dropped Vs Flush Joist Framing This particular floor system has two framing approaches. For the framing shown in the photo, the beams are framed “flush” meaning they are in the same plane as the joists. This type of “flush” framing allows for more head room below. At the other end ...
It all hinges on the type and grade of joist, (I would assume SPF #2/btr but could be wrong) and whether or not you are stating the length of span correctly... from load bearing wall to load bearing wall, including the required bearing surface. Adding joists between so they ...
Use span tables for progressively heavier loads until you find the limits of your floor. In this example, the table for a 40 psf live load/10 psf dead load floor shows that the joist in the example have a required Fb value of 1,644 and an E value of at least 2,400,000. That mea...
Table R507.9.1.3 (1) “Deck Ledger Connection to Band Joist” under the 40-psf-live-load column to determine if the tabulated maximum spacing of bolts or lag screws would apply to connecting a deck ledger to the end verticals of the trusses through the 2x4 ribbon blocks. This table ...
