![]() ![]() Joists supporting additional loads should be calculated by a competent person. These span tables make no additional allowance for partitions or any other loads additional loads. BS 5268-7.1 was published before BS 6399-1 was amended to include the more onerous 1.4 kN imposed concentrated load, so the approach adopted for these span tables uses the recommendations given in BS 6399-1, however, both approaches do result in similar joist sizes being calculated. Check 1: The allowable overhang/maximum cantilever is 3 ft 5 in. from the ledger, framed with 2×10 joists at 16 in. Other span tables are based on the guidance given in BS 5268-7.1 which is a uniformly distributed load of 1.5kN/m² for spans greater than 2400 mm and 3.6 kN load per metre width of floor for spans less than 2400 mm to ensure that very small joist sizes do not result from the calculations for smaller spans. Example: A deck with a beam located 12 ft. The floor joist span tables are based on the loadings given in the amended version of BS 6399-1 which is an imposed load of either a uniformly distributed load of 1.5 kN/m² or a concentrated load of 1.4 kN. Joists are to have minimum end bearing of 40mm. Wane as allowed in BS 4978:2007+A2:2017 is permitted in all sections included in these span tables. Proprietary strutting is to be used in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Solid timber strutting to be at least 38mm thick and be a minimum of three quarters of the joist depth.
