General Assumptions for Trus Joist Beams

Bearing lengths are based on each products bearing stress for applicable grade and
orientation.
All members 714" and less in depth are restricted to a maximum deflection of 516".

Beams that are 134" x 16" and deeper require multiple plies.

No camber.

Beam Orientation

Lateral support is required at bearing and along the span at 24" on-center,
maximum.

SG
Equivalent
Specific
Gravity (6)

(6) For lateral connection design only.


(7) Specific gravity of 0.58 may be used for bolts installed perpendicular to face and loaded
perpendicular to grain.
(8) Values are for thickness up to 312".
(9) For members less than 1" thick and in plank orientation, use Fc of 670 psi.
NDS bearing area factor Cb = 1.0.
(10) Value accounts for large hole capabilities. See Allowable Holes on page 36.
(11) Value shown is for plank orientation.
(12) For column applications, use Fcll of 500 psi.

For TimberStrand LSL, multiply by


Microllam

Ft
Tension
Stress (4)
(psi)

Beams and columns must remain straight to within 5L24608 (in.) of true alignment.
L is the unrestrained length of the member in feet.

Column Orientation

Tables on pages 815 include load reductions applied in accordance with code.

For applications not covered in this brochure, contact your Weyerhaeuser representative.
See pages 38 and 39 for multiple-member beam connections.

SIZING TABLES
General Notes

Bearing Requirements

Tables are based on:


Uniform loads.
More restrictive of simple or continuous span. Ratio of short span to long span
should be greater than 0.4 to prevent uplift.
Roof truss framing with 24" soffits.
Exterior wall weights of 80 plf, interior 60 plf.
Deflection criteria of L/360 live load and L/240 total load.

Tables assume minimum header support to be one trimmer (112") at each end and
412" at continuous-span supports.
In Sizing Tables on pages 6 and 7:
(2) Indicates minimum header support to be two trimmers (3") at each end and 712"
at continuous-span supports.
(3) Indicates minimum header support to be three trimmers (412") at each end and
1114" at continuous-span supports.

Tables do not consider attic loads acting concurrently with roof or snow loads.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 6 and General Assumptions on page 5.

For additional bearing information, see pages 34 and 36.

SIZING TABLES
General Notes

Bearing Requirements

Table is based on:


Uniform loads.
More restrictive of simple or continuous span. Ratio of short span to long span
should be 0.4 or greater to prevent uplift.
Roof truss framing with 24" soffits.
Deflection criteria of L/240 live load and L/180 total load.

Minimum header support to be two trimmers (3") at each end and 712" at
continuous-span supports.
In Sizing Tables on pages 8 and 9:
(3) Indicates requirement of three trimmers (412") at each end and 1114" at
continuous-span supports.

Tables do not consider attic loads acting concurrently with roof or snow loads.

SIZING TABLES
General Notes

Bearing Requirements

Table is based on:


Uniform loads.
More restrictive of simple or continuous span. Ratio of short span to long span
should be 0.4 or greater to prevent uplift.
Deflection criteria of L/240 live load and L/180 total load.

Minimum beam supports to be two trimmers (3") at each end and 712" at
continuous-span supports.
In Sizing Tables on pages 10 and 11:
(3) Indicates requirement of three trimmers (412") at each end and 1114" at
continuous-span supports.

General Notes

Bearing Requirements

Table is based on:


Uniform loads.
More restrictive of simple or continuous span. Ratio of short span to long span
should be greater than 0.4 to prevent uplift.
Roof truss framing with 24" soffits.
Exterior wall weights of 80 plf, interior 60 plf.
Deflection criteria of L/360 live load and L/240 total load at floor.

Minimum header supports to be two trimmers (3") at each end and 712" at
continuous-span supports.
In Sizing Tables on pages 12 and 13:
(3) Indicates requirement of three trimmers (412") at each end and 1114" at
continuous-span supports.

Tables do not consider attic loads acting concurrently with roof or snow loads.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 12 and General Assumptions on page 5.

SIZING TABLES
How to Use This Table
1. Determine appropriate Floor Load.

Floor framing length

2. Find the Floor Framing Length that meets or exceeds the sum of Spans 1 and 2
for the supported floor joists. When floor joists are continuous span, Span 1 or 2
cannot be less than 40% of the Floor Framing Length. If floor joists are simple
span (not continuous over the beam), then the Floor Framing Length may be
taken as 80% of Span 1 plus Span 2.

Span 1

Span 2

3. Locate Column Spacing.


4. Select beam size and material.

FLOOR LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total and live load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in
pounds per linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total and live loads.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 17.

FLOOR LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/240 total load (TL) and L/360 live load (LL).
For live load deflection limits of L/240 or L/480, multiply Live Load L/360 values by
1.5 or 0.75, respectively. The resulting live load must not exceed the total load shown.

Also see How to Use this Table on page 16 and General Assumptions on page 5.

FLOOR LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total and live load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in
pounds per linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total and live loads.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 19.

FLOOR LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/240 total load (TL) and L/360 live load (LL).
For live load deflection limits of L/240 or L/480, multiply Live Load L/360 values by
1.5 or 0.75, respectively. The resulting live load must not exceed the total load shown.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 18 and General Assumptions on page 5.

FLOOR LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total and live load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in
pounds per linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total and live loads.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 21.

FLOOR LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/240 total load (TL) and L/360 live load (LL).
For live load deflection limits of L/240 or L/480, multiply Live Load L/360 values by
1.5 or 0.75, respectively. The resulting live load must not exceed the total load shown.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 20 and General Assumptions on page 5.

SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in pounds per
linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total load.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 23.

SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/180 total load. For stiffer deflection criteria, use L/240
values for total load deflection.
For door and window applications, Weyerhaeuser recommends using the
L/360 value for a live load deflection limit and the L/240 value for a total
load limit.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 22 and General Assumptions on page 5.

SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in pounds per
linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total load.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 25.

SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/180 total load. For stiffer deflection criteria, use L/240
values for total load deflection.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 24 and General Assumptions on page 5.

SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in pounds per
linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total load.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 27.

SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/180 total load. For stiffer deflection criteria, use L/240
values for total load deflection.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 26 and General Assumptions on page 5.

NON-SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in pounds per
linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total load.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 29.

NON-SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/180 total load. For stiffer deflection criteria, use L/240
values for total load deflection.
For door and window applications, Weyerhaeuser recommends using the
L/360 value for a live load deflection limit and the L/240 value for a total
load limit.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 28 and General Assumptions on page 5.

NON-SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in pounds per
linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total load.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 31.

NON-SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/180 total load. For stiffer deflection criteria, use L/240
values for total load deflection.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 30 and General Assumptions on page 5.

NON-SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


How to Use This Table
1. Calculate total load (neglect beam weight) on the beam or header in pounds per
linear foot (plf).
2. Select appropriate Span (center-to-center of bearing).
3. Scan horizontally to find the proper width, and a depth with a capacity that
exceeds actual total load.
4. Review bearing length requirements to ensure adequacy.
Also see General Notes on page 33.

NON-SNOW ROOF LOAD TABLES


General Notes

Table is based on:


Uniform loads (beam weight considered).
More restrictive of simple or continuous span.
Deflection criteria of L/180 total load. For stiffer deflection criteria, use L/240
values for total load deflection.

Also see How to Use This Table on page 32 and General Assumptions on page 5.

Uniform Load Design Example

300 PLF

First, check allowable load tables on pages 1633 to verify


that three pieces can carry the total load of 715 plf with
proper live load deflection criteria. Maximum load applied to
either outside member is 415plf. For an assembly of three
134" plies (Assembly B), two rows of 10d (0.128" x 3") nails
at 12" o.c. center is good for only 280 plf. Therefore, use three
rows of 10d (0.128" x 3") nails at 12" o.c (good for 415 plf).
Alternative: Two rows of 12" A307 bolts or 312" USP WS
screws at 19.2" on-center.

Point Load Design Example

Connections are based on NDS or manufacturers test or code reports.


Use specific gravity of 0.5 when designing lateral connections.
Values listed are for 100% stress level. Increase 15% for snow-loaded roof
conditions or 25% for non-snow roof conditions, where code allows.
When fasteners are required on both sides, stagger fasteners on the second side
so they fall halfway between fasteners on the first side.
Verify adequacy of beam in allowable load tables on pages 1633.
7" wide beams should be side-loaded only when loads are applied to both
sides of the members (to minimize rotation).
Minimum end distance for bolts and screws is 6".
Beams wider than 7" require special consideration by the design professional
of record.

3,000 lbs

14"

First, verify that a 3-ply, 1" x 14" beam can support a 3,000 lb point load and all
other loads applied. The 3,000 lb point load is being transferred to the beam with a
face mount hanger. For an assembly of three 1" plies (Assembly B), six 3" SDS
screws are good for 3,060 lbs with a face mount hanger.

Hanger capacity may be more or less than that of


the supported member; therefore, check both the
hanger and the beam capacities.
Leave 116" clearance (18" maximum) between the
end of the beam or header and its support member
or hanger.

Header Assumptions

Hangers to be supported by headers of


TimberStrand LSL, Microllam LVL,
Parallam PSL, Douglas fir, southern pine, or
spruce-pine-fir.
When using top mount hangers in back-to-back
applications, ensure that the supporting beam
width is adequate to prevent hanger interference.
Face mount hangers to be supported by 1" width
headers, minimum.

Nailing Requirements

Fill all round and positive-angle nail holes with the


proper nails.
10d x 1" nails are 0.148" dia. by 1" long.
10d nails are 0.148" dia. by 3" long.
16d nails are 0.162" dia. by 3" long.
For USP: 16d R.S. nails are (9 gauge) 0.148" dia.
by 3" long ring-shank nails.

(1) Maximum value for top mount hangers shall not be increased for duration of load.

Tables are based on:


Solid, one-piece column members used in dry-service conditions.
Bracing in both directions at column ends.
NDS .
Simple columns with axial loads only. For side loads or other combined bending
and axial loads, see the NDS.

Two 16d (0.162" x 3")


nails for every 1" of
column width, nailed
through the plate
intothe column

Allowable loads have been adjusted to accommodate the worst case of the
following eccentric conditions: 16 of column thickness (first dimension) or 16 of
column width.
Beams and columns must remain straight to within
L is the unrestrained length of the member in feet.

(in.) of true alignment.

For column allowable design stresses see page 5.


Wide face
of strands
The column and connector values listed are for
dry-service conditions ONLY. When wet-service
conditions exist, contact your Weyerhaeuser
representative for other product solutions.

Wide face
of strands

In order to use the manufacturers


published capacities when designing
column caps, bases, or holdowns for
uplift, the bolts or screws must be

General Notes

L1

Capacities shown cannot be adjusted for duration of load.

Connector capacities assume a beam material with a minimum perpendicular-to-grain bearing of 625 psi.

Connector capacities may be more than the column capacity; therefore, check both the connector and the column capacity
and use the lower capacity.
Other connectors may be available. Capacities may vary depending on orientation of member. Contact the hanger
manufacturer for more information.
