 FIRE-SAFE CONSTRUCTION
For over 40 years, prefabricated wood I-joists and other Weyerhaeuser building products have established a record of safe and reliable performance
in millions of structures. Many of these structures, such as one- or two-family residential dwellings, do not require specific fire-resistance ratings per
building codes but may require unrated membrane protection. The information below is intended to help you specify and install Trus Joist® products
with fire safety in mind.

TIPS FOR PREVENTING FLOOR NOISE

Trus Joist® TJI® joists are structurally uniform and dimensionally stable, and they resist shrinking and twisting. This helps prevent gaps from forming around the nails
between the joist and the floor panels—gaps that can potentially cause squeaks or other floor noise. Using TJI® joists can help you build a quieter floor, but only if the
entire floor system is installed properly. This is because other components of the floor system, such as hangers, connectors, and nails can be a source of floor noise.

It's also a great tool to optimize floors for the type of home you build:

design software platforms.
Move-Up/Mid-Level: Countless floor plans with upgrades options.
Use TJ-Pro Rating to consistently and reliably build across the range

High-End Luxury: Uncompromised quality and reputation is key.

Bold italic spans indicate floors that would meet National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) vibration criteria but would be ­considered by 35% of the


population to have marginal or ­unacceptable performance.

How to Use These Tables

1. Determine the subflooring thickness and applicable live and dead loads.
2. Determine whether the ceiling will be directly applied and what the span condition is To more a­ ccurately
(simple or continuous). predict floor performance,
use our TJ-Pro™ Ratings
3. Select on-centre spacing.
4. Scan down the column until you meet or exceed the span of your a­ pplication.
5. Select TJI® joist and depth.

For simple span (5' minimum) uniformly loaded joists meeting the requirements of this guide, one maximum
size round hole may be ­located at the centre of the joist span provided that no other holes occur in the joist.

How to Use This Table General Notes

1. Identify TJI® joist and depth. ■
Table is based on:
– 15 psf unfactored roof dead load on a horizontal projection.
2. Locate the Roof Truss Span (horizontal) that meets or exceeds your condition.
– 80 plf unfactored exterior wall load with 3'-0" maximum width window or door
3. Identify the cantilever condition (less than 5" or 5" to 24") and locate the openings. For larger openings, or multiple 3'‑0" width openings spaced less
Unfactored Roof Total Load and On-Centre Joist Spacing for your ­application. than 6'-0" on-centre, additional joists beneath the o­ pening's ­trimmers may be
required.
4. Scan down to find the appropriate cantilever detail and refer to drawing
– 40/15 psf floor load.
on page 12:
– More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
– Blank cells indicate no reinforcement is required.
– Roof truss with 24" soffits.
– E4 may be used in place of E2 or E3 except when using TJI® 560 joists.
– X indicates cantilever will not work. Use ForteWEB® or Javelin® ­software, ■
¾" reinforcement refers to ¾" standard sheathing grade of Douglas fir or
or reduce spacing of joists and recheck table. Canadian softwood plywood or other ¾" exterior grade 48/24-rated sheathing that
is cut to match the full depth of the TJI® joist. Install with face grain horizontal.

2. Select appropriate Roof Joist Horizontal Clear Span. For slopes greater than

 SECTION 2: 18"–24" TJI® JOISTS
This section contains design information for 18"–24" deep Trus Joist® TJI® joists used in residential,
multi-family, or light-commercial applications.
18" and 20" deep TJI® joists are readily available through your local Weyerhaeuser dealer or distributor.
Offered with the flange sizes shown below, they come in lengths up to 60' (in 1' increments). 22" and 24" deep
TJI® joists are only available in some regions; for more information, contact your Weyerhaeuser representative.

Factored resistances are based on Limit States Design per CSA O86.

Factored reaction includes all loads on the joist. TJI ® joists are intended TJI® 560 joists

Factored shear is computed at the inside face of supports and includes all loads on the span(s). for dry-use applications
Factored shear resistance may sometimes be increased at interior supports. For more information

How to Use These Tables General Notes

1. Determine the the subflooring thickness and applicable live and dead loads. ■
Tables are based on:
– Clear distance between supports.
2. Determine whether the ceiling will be directly applied and what the span condition – 18'' and 20'' TJI® joists: Minimum bearing length of 1¾'' end (no web
is (simple or continuous). stiffeners) and 3½'' intermediate.
3. Select on-centre spacing. –  22'' and 24'' TJI® joists: Minimum bearing length of 1¾'' end and 3½''
intermediate; web stiffeners required at all bearings.
4. Scan down the column until you meet or exceed the span of your a­ pplication. – Limit States Design per CSA O86.
5. Select TJI® joist and depth. – Uniform loads.
– Single layer of appropriate span-rated OSB.
– NBCC vibration criteria as ratified by Canadian Construction Materials Centre
(CCMC).
■
Long term deflection under dead load, which includes the effect of creep, has not
been considered.
■
For continuous spans, ratio of short span to long span should be 0.4 or greater to
prevent uplift.

General Notes
Bold italic hangers require web stiffeners.
Factored resistances will vary with different nailing criteria or other support conditions; contact your Weyerhaeuser representative for assistance.
■
Hanger factored resistances shown are either joist bearing or hanger factored resistance—whichever is less. Joist end reaction must be checked to ensure it does not exceed
the factored resistance shown in the tables.
■
All factored resistances are for downward loads, standard term.
■
Fill all round, dimple, and positive-angle nail holes.
■
Use sloped seat hangers and beveled web stiffeners when TJI® joist slope exceeds 1⁄4:12. Maximum slope for 18"-24" TJI® joists is 3:12.
■
Leave 1⁄16" clearance (1⁄8" maximum) between the end of the supported joist and the header or hanger.
■
Nails: 16d = 0.162" x 31⁄2", 10d = 0.148" x 3", and 10d x 11⁄2" = 0.148" x 11⁄2".

(1) If necessary, increase filler and backer block height for face mount hangers and maintain 1⁄8" gap at top of joist. See detail W. Filler and backer block dimensions should
accommodate required nailing without splitting. The ­suggested minimum length is 24" for filler and 12" for backer blocks.
(2) Clinch nails when possible.
(3) For filler block connections, drive nails from alternating sides.

See page 31 for General Notes and nailing requirements.
