DESIGN OF FLOOR JOIST

I. MATERIAL:
Apitong Wood = 80% Stress Grade
Shear, Fv = 2.0 MPa
Bending and Tension, Fb = 17.67 MPa
Modulus of Elasticity, E = 5070 MPa
Mass Density = 6.34kN/m3

II. LOAD DISTRIBUTION:

 Dead Load
 FLOOR ( HARD WOOD) = 0.19 kPa
 Live Load
 RECREATIONAL = 3.6 kPa

III. ANALYSIS:
ASSUME: 50mm x 100 mm

Wt. of JOIST = 6.34m x 0.05m x 0.1m

= 0.0317 KN/m
Spacing = 0.30m
Length = 3m

Dead Load Live Load

= 0.19 kPa x 0.30m = 3.6kPa x 0.30m
= 0.057 + 0.0317 = 1.08 KN/m
= 0.0887 KN/m
Factored Load = 1.2DL+1.6LL
=1.2(0.0887) + 1.6(1.08)
=1.17 kPa

TOTAL LOADS = 1.17 KN/m
