MAXIMUM CANTILEVER SPAN (uplift force at backspan support in lbs. TABLE R502.3.3(1) CANTILEVER SPANS FOR FLOOR JOISTS SUPPORTING LIGHT-FRAME EXTERIOR BEARING WALL AND ROOF ONLY a, b, c, f, g, h (Floor Live Load ≤ 40 psf, Roof Live Load ≤ 20 psf) MEMBER & SPACING Beams shall be permitted to cantilever at each end up to one-fourth of the actual beam span. Beam plies shall be fastened with two rows of 10d (3-inch × 0.128-inch) nails minimum at 16 inches (406 mm) on center along each edge. Floor cantilevers supporting an exterior balcony are permitted to be constructed in accordance with Table R502.3.3(2). Maximum allowable spans for wood deck beams, as shown in Figure R507.6, shall be in accordance with Table R507.6. Floor cantilevers constructed in accordance with Table R502.3.3(1) shall be permitted where supporting a light-frame bearing wall and roof only. Dead load limits for townhouses in Seismic Design Category C and all structures in Seismic Design Categories D 0, D 1 and D 2 shall be determined in accordance with Section R301.2.2.2.1.įLOOR JOIST SPANS FOR COMMON LUMBER SPECIES (Residential living areas, live load = 40 psf, L/Δ = 360) b JOIST SPACING (inches)įloor cantilever spans shall not exceed the nominal depth of the wood floor joist. ![]() (3) Notes to Table A-8: (1) Beam spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floors does not exceed that specified for residential areas. Note: Check sources for availability of lumber in lengths greater than 20 feet. Maximum Spans for Built-up Floor Beams Supporting not more than One Floor (1) (2) Forming Part of Sentence 9.23.4.2. TABLE R502.3.1(1) FLOOR JOIST SPANS FOR COMMON LUMBER SPECIES (Residential sleeping areas, live load = 30 psf, L/Δ = 360) a JOIST SPACING (inches)įor SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 foot = 304.8 mm, 1 pound per square foot = 0.0479 kPa. These tables are based on the Ontario Building Code and provide accurate information for LVL beam spans. The allowable span of ceiling joists that support attics used for limited storage or no storage shall be determined in accordance with Section R802.4. determine the total load per foot of beam. This type of joist is costly and installation tricky because they need to be custom-designed for each project.Table R502.3.1(1) shall be used to determine the maximum allowable span of floor joists that support sleeping areas and attics that are accessed by means of a fixed stairway in accordance with Section R311.7 provided that the design live load does not exceed 30 pounds per square foot (1.44 kPa) and the design dead load does not exceed 20 pounds per square foot (0.96 kPa). Builders favor them, especially for commercial projects, because they have natural openings that more easily accommodate pipes and wires without the need for measuring and cutting holes in the wood. However, the beam sizes calculated are only applicable to buildings that are within the scope of NZS 3604:2011. Open-Web Floor Trusses: These joists are made of pieces of cantilevered wood. The BRANZ Lintels and Beams Calculator (in the Toolbox on the BRANZ website) is designed to allow the calculation of beam sizes where the span is outside those given in NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings.The advantage of an I-joist is that it offers long and continuous spans for residential flooring (and roofing). The top of an I-joist is made of wood or laminated veneer and the center support is typically plywood. I-Joists: More costly than solid lumber floor joists, this type of joist is strong, lightweight, and lasts longer than solid wood because it is made from different materials.Care needs to be taken because using younger trees for this joist system may result in warped boards. The chosen species affect the size of boards and results in limited span distances. ![]()
