Floor joists are horizontal structural members that span an open space, often between beams, which subsequently transfer the load to vertical structural members. These joists, part of the floor system, carry the weight of everything inside a room, including walls, furniture, appliances, and even people.
Many customers prefer wide-open spaces for their new homes (no internal-loadbearing wall or column in the unit). Opening space is not a problem to us, as long as the spanning is not more than 60'.
The floor joist table calculation determines loading (dead and live load) and spanning.
Nowadays, we use an open web truss with LVL as a hybrid floor solution for better construction results. The good side is it makes the floor perfectly level flat and open space, but the cost is its disadvantage.
