Joist section design

Calculations for timber joists are in accordance with BS5268:Pt 2:1996

Joist size - 300 wide x 300 deep

Timber type - Sawn Softwood as Table NA.2 of BS EN 336

Span of joist =2m

Span type - Simple

End bearing - left hand end X = 0 mm

Y = 50 mm
- right hand end X = 0 mm
Y = 50 mm
End notches - left hand end - none specified
- right hand end - none specified

Joist centres = 450 mm

Strength class from Table 7 (service classes 1 & 2) - C16

Service class - 2 (Covered and heated or unheated)

Maximum design moment = 25 kNm/m

Design shear force at left hand support = 35 kN/m
Design shear force at right hand support = 65 kN/m

Bending parallel to grain = 5.3 N/mm2

Shear parallel to grain = 0.6 N/mm2

Bending Design

The allowable bending stress is

 =  *K *K *K *K
bpall bp 2 3 7 8
= 5.3*1*1*1*1.1
= 5.83 N/mm2

The moment per metre width of floor is 25 kNm/m. Hence, the moment per joist is
M = M*j /1000
j cc
= 25*450/1000
= 11.25 kNm
giving the required section modulus per joist as
z = M *106/
reqd j bpall
= 11.25*106/5.83
= 1929674 mm3

The section modulus of the joist chosen is 4500000 mm^3.

Shear Design

Left hand support

The allowable shear stress is

 = *K *K *K *K
cpaall cpa 2 3 5 8

= 0.66 N/mm2

The shear per metre width of floor is 35 kN/m. Hence, the shear per joist is
R = R *j /1000
lj l cc
= 35*450/1000
= 15.75 kN
giving the required cross sectional area per joist as
A = 3*R *103/(2* )
lreqd lj cpaall

The cross sectional area of the joist chosen is

Right hand support

The allowable shear stress is

 = *K *K *K *K
cpaall cpa 2 3 5 8
= 0.6*1*1*1*1.1

The shear per metre width of floor is 65 kNm/m. Hence, the shear per joist is
R = R *j /1000
rj r cc
= 65*450/1000
= 29.25 kN
giving the required cross sectional area per joist as
A = 3*R *103/(2* )
rreqd rj cpaall

= 66477 mm2

The cross sectional area of the joist chosen is

= 90000 mm2

Bearing Design

Right hand support

The allowable bearing stress is

 = *K *K *K *K

The bearing area of the joist chosen is

Deflection check

The deflection calculated includes for shear deflection and is based on the following
- For a loadsharing system
- Youngs modulus - E = 8800 N/mm2
- Shear modulus - G = 550 N/mm2
- Shape factor - F = 1.2 (for rectangular sections)

and section properties of

- Area - A = 900 cm2
- Mom. of inertia - I = 67500 cm4

The maximum calculated deflection is 1 mm, which does not exceed the allowable deflection, determined from the span ratio (
0.003 x span ), of 6 mm.
