ROOF SPAN TABLE NOTES
- Total Load values are limited by shear, moment, or deflection equal to L/180.
- Deflection values are limited by deflection equal to L/240. Check the local building code for other deflection limits that may apply.
- Where a Deflection value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
- Slope roof joists at least 1/4" over 12" to minimize ponding.
- Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications.
- 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.
