EDA 1 Floor joist span tablesTRADA Technology
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...
A look at an actual current joist span table will show that depending on the wood species, the allowable spans for a 2x8 floor joists with 40 pound live load with deflection limit of span/360, ranges from 10'5" (Western red cedar) to 12'9" (Doug fir-larch). ...
First you’ll need to download the most currentTrus Joist TJI Manual. The design manual contains all the span tables for different sizes and orientations of joists. The manual also includes span tables based on different deflection criteria. Also included in the manual are extremely important con...

So if we applied an L/360" standard to say a floor or floor joist in which the floor spans 12 feet we can calculate (as an example) 12 ft x 12 inches per foot = 144" of total span Now 144" / 360" (L / 360") = 0.4" - telling us that 0.4" of sag below a straight horiz...
In Canada, the building code includes limits on floor vibration. But U.S. codes don’t regulate floor vibration. So most U.S. builders design for deflection only—typically by holding deflection due to live load to a maximum of L/360 (where “L” is the floor joist span), or perhaps...
joist, it can sometimes be repaired by bracing the floor or the most common method of repairing, sistering the joists. This is usually done by putting a new joist alongside the old one to help carry the load. It lends strength to an existing joist so that you do not need to remove ...
I would not put such a heavy over-load across the existing floor. I would double or triple the joist below the shelf to form a beam that I'd support by concrete-filled Lally columns that rest on solid masonry block piers. I have inspected homes that sported huge record collections that...
