These tables can help calculate whether floor joists are strong enough to support themselves and the load they carry without the help of any walls underneath.
For pitched roofs flat roofs and ceiling joists.
Where the tables do not apply or where there are concentrated loads floor joists should be designed by an engineer in accordance with technical requirement r5.
Surveyors and structural engineers use data from tables below to help calculate the size of timbers necessary to give adequate support to timber floors.
Notches are not to exceed 0 125 of the depth of the joist and are to be located between 0 07 and 0 25 of the span from the support.
