- Table values are limited by shear, moment, Total Load deflection equal to L/180 and Live Load deflection equal to L/240. Check the local building code for other deflection limits that may apply.
- Allowable moment has been increased by a repetitive member factor for joist spacings of 24 inches or less.
- 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.
