    W3 Flooring Systems

    The document discusses different types of floor systems used in building construction including wood joist floors, prefabricated wood trusses and joists, and wood plank and beam floors. Wood joist floors are commonly used in light-frame construction due to the ease of working with wood and quick on-site assembly. Prefabricated wood trusses and joists are increasingly used in place of dimension lumber as they are generally more dimensionally stable and can span longer distances. Wood plank and beam floors are typically used with posts or columns to form a skeleton frame structure using fewer but larger wood members.

    FLOOR SYSTEMS
    Architecture and building
    construction are not necessarily one
    and the same thing.

    An understanding of the methods


    for assembling various materials

    FLOOR SYSTEMS are horizontal


    plans that must support both live
    loads -people, furnishings, and
    movable equipment -and deadloads
    -the weight of the floor construction
    itself.

    Floor systems may be composed of a


    series of linear beams and joists
    overlaid with a plane of sheathing or
    decking or consists of nearly
    homogenous slab of reinforced
    concrete

    WOOD JOISTS

    Wood joist floors are an essential subsystem of wood light-frame construction. The
    dimension lumber used for joists is easily worked and can be quickly assembled on
    site with simple tools.
    Together with wood panel sheathing or subflooring, the wood joists form a level
    working platform for construction.
    If properly engineered, the resulting floor structure can serve as a structural
    diaphragm to transfer lateral loads to shear walls; consult the building code for
    specific requirements

    • Rule of thumb for estimating joist depth: span/16
    • Joist deflection should not to exceed 1 /360th of span.
    • The stiffness of the joist framing under stress is more critical than its strength.
    • If the overall construction depth is acceptable, deeper joists spaced further
    apart are more desirable for stiffness than shallow joists spaced more closely
    together.
    • Consult manufacturer for sizes and spans of laminated veneer lumber joists.

    Prefabricated, pre-engineered wood joists and trusses are
    increasingly used in the place of dimension lumber to frame
    floors because they are generally lighter and more dimensionally
    stable than sawn lumber, are manufactured in greater depths and
    lengths, and can span longer distances.
    • Rule of thumb for estimating depth of trussed joists: span/18
    • Openings in webs allow the passage of electrical and mechanical
    lines.
    • Consult manufacturer for available lengths and depths,
    recommended spacing and allowable spans, and required
    bearing conditions.

    Wood plank-and-beam floor systems are typically used with a supporting grid of
    posts or columns to form a skeleton frame structure. Using larger but fewer structural
    members that can span greater distances translates into potential savings in material
    and labor costs.
