The document discusses ICC-ES Evaluation Reports, which evaluate building products and materials for code compliance but do not guarantee quality or recommend use. It also does not provide warranties.

An ICC-ES Evaluation Report evaluates whether a product meets code requirements but does not guarantee quality, recommend use, or provide warranties. It allows code officials to accept alternative materials and methods.

This report evaluates TJI prefabricated wood I-joists made by Weyerhaeuser for use as floor joists, roof rafters, blocking panels, and rim joists to support code-required loads.

Allowable shear loads for wood structural panel diaphragms with TJI joist framing must be determined in accordance with Tables 4.2A and 4.2C of
the SDPWS or Table 2306.2.1(1) of the 2009 IBC, using the equivalent nominal framing width and specific gravities specified in Table 2, and must
not exceed the maximum permitted design capacity given in Table 2.
2
One row of nails is permitted along each sheathing panel end and edge. When nail spacing is less than 6 inches on center, adjacent nails within a
row must be offset (staggered). The closest permitted nail spacing in Table 2 must not be exceeded. Solid sawn framing members must be used in
lieu of TJI joist framing members where the fastener spacing required in SDPWS Tables 4.2A and 4.2C or 2009 IBC Table 2306.2.1(1) is closer
than the closest permitted nail spacing given in Table 2 of this report.
3
The maximum allowable seismic design capacities of Table 2 may be increased by a factor of 1.4 for wind design applications.
4
The design capacity of an unblocked diaphragm framed with TJI 110, TJI 210 or TJI 230 joists may be multiplied by a factor of 1.18 if a non-
polyurethane sub-floor adhesive is used in combination with mechanical fasteners for sheathing attachment. Continuous special inspection is not
required for this adhesive application.

FOOTNOTES FOR TABLE 3:


1
Refer to Figure 1 for web stiffener details
2
Deflection is calculated as follows:

22.5 WL4 12 WL2 36PL3 24PL


Uniform load : Concentrated load at midspan :
EI Kdx105 EI Kdx105
Where:
P = Concentrated load, pounds. d = Out-to-out depth of joist, inches. L = Clear span in feet
W = Uniform load in pounds per lineal foot. EI = From table. K = From table.
3
The stated reference design values are for loads of normal duration. Adjustments to the reference design values must be in accordance with the applicable
code, with the exception noted in footnote 10 below.
4
Interpolation between bearing lengths and joist depths is permitted for reference design reactions.
5
The minimum bearing length is permitted to be reduced for joists supported by hangers if supplemental nail attachment is provided to the web stiffener.
6
Required bearing lengths have been determined based on Weyerhaeuser TJI Joist products. Allowable bearing stresses on supporting members must be
checked.
7 1
Referenced design reactions require 5 /4-inch and 7-inch bearing lengths at intermediate supports.
8
Joist weights shown are calculated on a rational basis, are based on the heavier of eastern or western species products and are suitable for dead load
calculation. Contact the producing plant for shipping weight information if needed.
9 1
Applicable to TJI HD90 and TJI HS90 joists only. Tabulated values indicate reference design bearing reactions for a 2 /2-inch bearing length at end supports.
3
1 /4-inch end bearing lengths are also permitted; with reference design reactions of 1600 lbs. without web stiffeners for depths up to and including 18 inches;
7
with web stiffeners the reference design reaction is 2255 lbs. for the 11 /8 inch depth and 2450 lbs. for all other depths.
10
The reference design moment values listed in Table 3 may not be increased by any code allowed repetitive-member use factor.
11

Web Stiffener Requirements:


1
Web stiffeners must be installed at bearing points as required in Table 3.
2
Web stiffeners must be installed at points of concentrated loads greater than 1500 pounds and are to be nailed in accordance with the
intermediate reaction schedule in Table 3.
3
Web stiffeners are to be installed on each side of the web as shown, with nails equally spaced vertically.
4
A gap must be left at the top of web stiffeners as shown at all bearing conditions. In the case of concentrated loads, web stiffeners are
required as shown and the gap must be at the bottom.
5
Web stiffener material must be sheathing meeting the requirements of PS-1 or PS-2 with the face grain parallel to the long axis of the
stiffener.
6
Some hangers require web stiffeners to comply with nailing requirements through side plates.
7
If web stiffeners are not used in hanger support, the side of the hanger must extend up to laterally support the top flange.
8
See manufacturers published installation instructions for additional details and requirements for web stiffeners.

Appendix A

Discussion Related to Life-Cycle Assessment

A1.0 GENERAL
The following information is intended to provide some general background on LCA provisions in existing rating systems and
standards. Users are advised that the science of LCA is still evolving and there are no standardized procedures for such an
analysis. It must be noted that Section 609.1 of ICC 700-2008, Section 610.1 of ICC 700-2012, Section A5.409.3 of the
California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), Section 9.5.1 of ASHRAE 189.1, Section 10.1.1 of Green Globes,
and LEED v4 BD+C MRc2 encourage the use of comparative LCA as means of selecting preferable materials, systems or
building assemblies. However, LCA results should not be interpreted beyond the scope of the boundary limits used in
performing the LCA.
This VAR indicates that iLevel and Weyerhaeuser products may be eligible for points related to LCA by use of the
information contained in the documentation noted in Section 5.10 and 5.11 of this report. This appendix discusses additional
information required by the user of this report related to achieving points or demonstrating compliance based on LCA output.
A2.0 DISCUSSION RELATED TO ICC 700
As indicated in the ICC 700 Commentary, points can be obtained based on the results of an analysis based on an LCA. For
the purpose of compliance with the intent of ICC 700, the following steps (as a minimum) are recommended:
Fully define the benchmark material, product, assembly, or structure
Fully define the product or assembly proposed as more environmentally friendly
Fully define the endpoints or boundaries of the analysis (so-called cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, cradle-to-cradle, gate-
to-gate, etc.). For analyses that go beyond cradle-to-gate, a separate report is recommended for each application or use
category. Such reports are also recommended to include a discussion of the sensitivity of the analysis to major
assumptions for major parameters.
Employ an LCA method complying with ISO 14044.
Report all applicable attributes of the benchmark analysis and the proposed product/assembly analysis that are relevant
to the LCA.
The involvement of an individual with experience in the field of LCA and who is knowledgeable in the latest research and
standards related to LCA, from the earliest planning stages through completion of the final assessment, is recommended.
An independent peer review of the entire LCA methodology and its conclusions by an individual knowledgeable in LCA is
recommended.
Examples of an LCA that meets these requirements can be found in the series of CORRIM reports (www.corrim.org) that
address a broad range of wood-based building materials.
A3.0 DISCUSSION RELATED TO CALGREEN AND ASHRAE 189.1
Similar to the requirements of ICC 700, Section A5.409.3 of the CALGreen and Section 9.5.1 of ASHRAE 189.1 allows the
use of selected materials or assemblies based on LCA done in accordance with ISO 14044.
A4.0 DISCUSSION RELATED TO ANSI/GBI 01-2010
Although life-cycle assessment in its broad sense is too complex for standardization at this time, the use of a specific tool
(e.g., Green Globes LCA Credit Calculator) in strict accordance with the rating system intent of comparative analysis of
specific components of the building is reasonable. However, users are advised to consult with persons familiar with LCA
tools when conducting this analysis. Additional guidance regarding the Green Globes LCA Credit Calculator is provided in
Appendix N of the Green Globes document.
