Southern EWP Specifier Guide - BCI Joists

NOTE: The illustration below is showing several suggested applications for the Boise Cascade products. It is not intended to show an actual house under construction.

NO MIDSPAN BRIDGING IS REQUIRED FOR BCI'S

BCI Joists

1 - For load bearing cantilever details, click here.
2 - VERSA-RIM 98 Rim Board will transfer vertical load, see note under floor details.
3 - BCI Rim Joist (where bearing length allows) will support 2000 lbs. per lineal foot of vertical load.
4 - FOR INSTALLATION STABILITY, Temporary strut lines (1x4 min.) 8" on center max. Fasten at each joist with 2-8d mails min.
5 - BCI joist blocking or 2x4 "squash" block on each side required when supporting a load-bearing wall above.
6 - VERSA-LAM header or a BCI joist header.
7 - 1 1/2" knockout holes at approximately 12" o.c. are pre-punched.
8 - See allowable hole sizes and locations.
9 - VERSA-LAM LVL beam.
10 - Endwall blocking may be required.
11 - BCI Joist Blocking is required when BCI Joists are cantilevered.

  • Table values assume that sheathing is glued and nailed to the joists.
  • Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications
  • Table values are based on residential floor loads of 40 PSF live load and 10 PSF dead load.
  • Table values are the maximum allowable clear distance between supports.
  • This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the limitations of these tables by analyzing a specific application with the BC Calc Software.

Live Load deflection at L/480.
Live Load deflection at L/960 to provide a floor that is much stiffer for the more discriminating purchaser.
Code allowed live load deflection at L/360, as allowed by the building code. See  "About Floor Performance" for additional information.
