Subtle changes in floor usage or joist spans may also result in floor performance complaints. One common problem area is a kitchen with an island, where a homeowner may notice rattling dishes or ripples in a glass of water. A change in joist span at a bay window may also be a trouble s...
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...
Just be aware that maximum joist spans ares complicated—they depend upon the lumber’s species and quality, and the load on the floor in addition to the joists’ sizes. If your joists are indeed too small, see some of the methods below to firm them up. How far should flooring joists ...

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...
For over 50 years builders have looked to the Trus Joist ® name for guidance on floor performance, and our decades of proven success with TJ-Pro ™ Ratings is one of the biggest reasons why. How Does TJ-Pro ™ Ratings Work? Point values up to 65 are assigned using complex ...
The IRC table which is referred to in the"Allowable Girder Spans"thread, assumes some conservative uniform weight and loading on an exterior bearing wall fitting all the conditions of that table, and sizes a built-up beam for that. It is for you to figure out what that loading was and if...
lems arose with vibrations induced by walking on steel-joist supported floors that satisfied traditional stiffness criteria. Since that time much has been learned about the loading function due to walking and the potential for resonance. More recently, rhythmic activities, such as aerobics and high-...
