FLOOR SPAN TABLE NOTES
- Live Load values are limited by deflection equal to L/480. For deflection limits of L/360 and L/960, multiply the Live Load values by 1.33 and 0.50 respectively.
- Total Load values are limited by shear, moment, or deflection equal to L/240.
- Table values assume that sheathing is nailed, but not glued, to the joists.
- Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications.
- Both the Live Load and Total Load columns must be checked. Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
- For assistance with floor design, consult the section About Floor Performance.
- This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the limitations of this table by analyzing a specific application with the BC Calc Software.
