Supported by the Softwood Lumber Board. Maximum horizontal spans for joists and rafters are calculated based on the following assumptions and conditions: · Joists and rafters are oriented to support vertical loads applied to the narrow (1.5 in. thick) face of the member, resulting in strong-axis...
To withstand these loads, the facesheets of sandwich structures are responsible for transmitting in-plane tensile and compressive loads applied to the sandwich, while the core must have sufficient strength to support the skins, maintain proper spacing between them, and resist transverse shear stresses...
A span options calculator allows selection of multiple species and grades for comparison purposes.Maximum horizontal spans for joists and rafters are calculated based on the following assumptions and conditions: · Joists and rafters are oriented to support vertical loads applied to the narrow (1.5 in...
