Lateral Support Requirements for Joists in Hangers<br />

When top flange style hangers are used to support one<br />

I-joist from another, especially the wider flange I-joists,<br />

web stiffeners need to be installed tight to the bottom<br />

side of the support joist’s top flanges. This prevents cross<br />

grain bending and rotation of the top flange (see Figure<br />

M7.4-9).<br />

When face-nail hangers are used for joist to joist<br />

connections, nails into the support joist should extend<br />

through and beyond the web element (Figure M7.4-10).<br />

Figure M7.4-9<br />

Top Flange Hanger Support<br />

Filler blocks should also be attached sufficiently to provide<br />

support for the hanger. Again, nail diameter should be<br />

considered to avoid splitting the filler block material.<br />

Multiple I-joists need to be adequately connected<br />

together to achieve desired performance. This requires<br />

proper selection of a nailing or bolting pattern and attention<br />

to web stiffener and blocking needs. Connections<br />

should be made through the webs of the I-joists and never<br />

through the flanges.<br />
