Commentary on the Prescriptive Method for One and Two Family Dwellings - 2004 31<br />

Floor Joists<br />

• Joist Spacing:<br />

12”, 16”, 19.2” and 24” oc<br />

• Live Loads:<br />

30 psf and 40 psf<br />

• Span:<br />

Single (simply-supported span) and<br />

Two-equal spans with stiffeners at bearing locations<br />

(uniform load over the entire two-spans; i.e., no alternate<br />

loading is considered)<br />

• Joist Size Range: 550S162-33 to 1200S162-97<br />

• Yield Strengths:<br />

33 ksi steel for single spans and<br />

33 and 50 ksi steel for multiple spans<br />

• Floor Dead Load<br />

10 psf<br />

• Design Checks:<br />

Bending, shear, and combined shear and bending (for<br />

two-spans only)<br />

• Deflection Criteria:<br />

L/480 for live loads and L/240 for total loads<br />

• Bracing:<br />

Joists considered to be continuously braced at the top<br />

flange by floor sheathing<br />

• Bearing Stiffeners:<br />

All floor joists are assumed to have stiffeners at bearing<br />

support locations<br />

• Bearing Length: Minimum bearing length of 1½” at end supports and 3½”<br />

at interior supports<br />

Structural Wall Studs<br />

• Stud Spacing:<br />

16” and 24” on center<br />

• Wind Speed:<br />

85 through 130 mph Exposures A/B (3-sec. gust wind<br />

speeds) with adjustments for Exposure C (enclosed<br />

buildings)<br />

• Seismic Design Category: A, B, C, D1, D2 and E<br />

• Stud Heights: 8’, 9’, and 10’<br />

• Stud Size Range:<br />

350S162 and 550S162-33 to 97 mil thickness<br />

• Ground Snow Loads: 20 psf, 30 psf, 50 psf, and 70 psf<br />

• Attic Live Load:<br />

No attic live load acting on the studs. Tables are footnoted<br />

to allow attics with storage by jumping to the next snow<br />

load column<br />

• Snow Load:<br />

0.7xGround Snow Load (16 psf minimum)<br />

• Stud Bracing:<br />

Bracing of the interior and exterior flanges of the studs by<br />

sheathing or mechanical bracing (mechanical bracing at<br />

mid-height for 8' studs, 1/3 point for 9' and 10' studs)<br />

• Yield Strengths:<br />

33 and 50 ksi steel<br />

• 2 nd Floor Dead Load: 10 psf<br />

• 2 nd Floor Live Load: 30 psf<br />

• 2 nd Floor Wall Dead Load: 10 psf<br />

• Roof Dead Load:<br />

7 psf<br />

• Ceiling Dead Load: 5 psf<br />

• Design Checks: Bending only: C&C loads per ASCE 7 (ASCE, 1998)<br />

Combined axial and bending: MWFRS loads and load<br />

combinations
