Re: joist span calculation formula?

Text of the message: |
In a previous post John says... > I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of a formula for > calculating the maximum span of a joist? > John: There are three parts to your question: bending strength,shear strength and deflection limitations. For floor joists with normal floor loading we can generally ignore the shear calculation, so that leaves flexure and deflection. For flexure, the bending formula is fb = M/Sx or fb = (wl^2)/8Sx where Sx = (bd^2)/6 fb = (6wl^2)/(8bd^2) L = sqrt[(8bd^2)*fb/(6w)] make sure your units are compatible For deflection of floors: L/360 = (5wL^4)/(384EI) where I= (bd^3)/12 I will leave you to work out the math. Your "maximum" span is the smaller of the two L's -- Bob Morrison, PE, SE R L Morrison Engineering Co Structural & Civil Engineering Poulsbo WA . |
