1) Wood floors systems (wood joist flooring)
a) Wood Joists
▪ Wood joist floors are an essential subsystem of wood
light frame construction.
▪ The dimension lumber used for joists is easily
worked and can be quickly assembled on site with
simple tools.
▪ If properly engineered, the resulting floor structure
can serve as a structural diaphragm to transfer lateral
loads to shear walls
▪ Wood light framing is combustible, it must rely on
finish flooring and ceiling materials for its fire-
resistance rating.
▪ The susceptibility of wood light framing to decay
and insect infestation requires positive site drainage,
and ventilation to control condensation in enclosed
spaces.
▪ Lateral support required for joist ends

b) Wood Joist Framing

Wood joists may be supported by wood or steel beams. In either case, the elevation of
the beam should be coordinated with the perimeter sill condition and how the beam supports
the floor joists. Wood is most susceptible to shrinkage perpendicular to its grain. For this
reason, the total depth of wood construction for both the sill condition and the joist– beam
connection should be equalized to avoid subsidence of the floor plane.

‫شكرا ً جزيالً المتميزة د ميرا‬

‫موضوع الخشب من الموضوعات السهله جدا بإذن هللا‬
‫محتاجين تكرما نركز في االتي‬
‫اوال‪span :‬الفراغ ألن ده علي أساسه بيتحدد ابعاد قطاع ال ‪joist‬سواء ‪ ٤*٢‬أو ‪ ٦*٢‬أو ‪ ٨*٢‬أو ‪ ١٠*٢‬ونخلي بالنا أن ابعاد‬
‫االخشاب عامه بتكون بالبوصه فعلي سبيل المثال ‪ ٢‬بوصة معناها ‪٥‬سم تقريبا ً‬
‫ثانيا ً‪ :‬بعد تحديد ال ‪span‬وقطاع ال ‪joist‬بنبدأ بتقسيط المسافه بين ال‪joists‬وبعضها والزم تكون متساوية وانتم بقيتوا أساتذة في ده ‪،،‬‬
‫ال ‪spacing‬بتكون بدايه من ‪ ٣٠‬سم وبتوصل لحد ‪ ٦٠‬سم لكن المعقول بيكون متوسط ال‪ ٤٠‬سم بيكون كويس مش عايزين نبعد عن‬
‫الرقم ده‬
‫ثالثا ‪ :‬الزم تخلي بالنا من عالقه تثبيت ال ‪joist‬بالحائط ‪ ،،‬بنالحظ أن ال ‪joist‬بيترص في ال ‪Short direction‬وبيكون قاعد‬
‫علي حاجه فوق الحائط اسمها ‪sill plate‬وال ‪sill plate‬ممكن تكون ‪double‬‬
‫رابعا‪ :‬بنجد في ‪joist‬بيجي عمودي علي ال ‪flooring joists‬ده بنسميه ‪header‬‬
‫خامسا ً‪ :‬بعد كده بيجي التغطية اللي بتبقي فوق ال ‪joists‬عشان نقدر نمشي علي البالطه ونستخدمها واسمها ‪subfloor‬ودي ممكن‬
‫تكون الواح من الكونتر ابعادها بتكون في الغالب والشائع استخدامه ‪٢.٤٠*١.٢٠‬متر أو ‪decking‬بيتعشق في بعضه زي ما د ميرا‬
‫شرحت‬
‫سادسا ً‪ :‬لو ‪span‬الفراغ كبر عن ال ‪ranges‬اللي يقدر يتحملها اكبر قطاع ال ‪joist‬يبقي الزم هنستخدم كمره يا اما من الخشب أو‬
‫الحديد كفاصل نقدر نحمل عليه‬
‫سابعا ً‪ :‬لو ال ‪wood flooring‬احتاج دعامه رأسية بنضطر نحط ‪posts‬وفي المحاضرة معروض شويه فنون لعالقه ال ‪flooring‬‬
‫‪system‬بال ‪posts‬‬
‫ثامنا‪ :‬الزم نخلي بالنا ايه بيجي قبل ايه كمراحل تثبيت عناصر السقف الخشبي ألن ده الزم يكون واضح بالرسم ايه اللي ظاهر وايه‬
‫المختفي‬
‫تاسعا‪ :‬التمرين المطلوب تمرين بسيط لفراغ بسيط مش هتحتاج فيه ‪beams‬وال حتي ‪posts‬‬
‫عاشرا‪ :‬الزم نكتب كل البيانات والمقاسات علي ال ‪plan‬و ال ‪section‬وطبعا احترم مقياس الرسم المطلوب‬
