True floor joist span calculations can only be made by a structural engineer or contractor.
This sample table gives minimum floor joist sizes for joists spaced at 16 inches and 24 inches on center o c for 2 grade lumber with 10 pounds per square foot of dead load and 40 pounds of live load which is typical of normal residential construction.
Span tables below illustrate common combinations of the multiple variables available.
Alpine truss designs are engineered to meet specific span configuration and load conditions.
