The SIMPLE FRAMING SYSTEM

Makes Designing Homes Easier
Architects, engineers, and designers trust
Boise's engineered wood products to provide
a better system for framing floors and roofs.
It's the SIMPLE FRAMING SYSTEM,
featuring beams, joists and rim boards

that work together as a system, so you
spend less time cutting and fitting. In
fact, the SIMPLE FRAMING SYSTEM
uses fewer pieces and longer lengths
than conventional framing, so you'll
complete jobs in less time.
You'll Build Better Homes

with the
SIMPLE FRAMING SYSTEM
Now it's easier than ever to design

and build better floor systems. When
you specify the SIMPLE FRAMING
SYSTEM, your clients will have fewer
problems with squeaky floors and
ceiling gypsum board cracks. The
SIMPLE FRAMING SYSTEM also
means overall better floor and roof
framing than dimension lumber allows.
Better Framing
Doesn't Have to Cost More
Table of Contents
Boise Engineered Wood Products'

SIMPLE FRAMING SYSTEM often
costs less than conventional framing
methods when the resulting reduced

labor and materials waste are considered. There's less sorting and cost
associated with disposing of waste
because you order only what you
need. Although our longer lengths help
your clients get the job done faster,
they cost no more.
Environmentally Sound
As an added bonus, floor and roof

systems built with BCI Joists require
about half the number of trees as
those built with dimension lumber.
This helps you design a home both
you and future generations will be
proud to own.
What Makes the SIMPLE

FRAMING SYSTEM So Simple?
Floor and Roof Framing with
BCI Joists
Light in weight, but heavy-duty,
BCI Joists have a better strength /
weight ratio than dimension lumber.
Knockouts can be removed for
cross-ventilation and wiring.

Ceilings Framed with BCI Joists

The consistent size of BCI Joists
helps keep gypsum board flat and
free of unsightly nail pops and ugly
shadows, while keeping finish work
to a minimum.
VERSA-LAM Beams for Floor

and Roof Framing
These highly-stable beams are
free of the large-scale defects that
plague dimension beams. The
result is quieter, flatter floors (no
camber) and no shrinkage-related
call-backs.
Boise Rimboard
Boise Engineered Wood Products
offer several engineered rimboard
products regionally, including
BC RIM BOARD OSB, BC RIM
BOARD and VERSA-RIM (check
supplier or Boise EWP representative for availability). These
products work with BCI Joists to
provide a solid connection at the
critical floor/wall intersection.

Residential Floor Span Tables
About Floor Performance

Homeowners expectations and opinions vary greatly due to the
subjective nature of rating a new oor. Communication with the
ultimate end user to determine their expectation is critical. Vibration
is usually the cause of most complaints. Installing lateral bridging may
help; however, squeaks may occur if not installed properly. Spacing
the joists closer together does little to affect the perception of the
oor's performance. The most common methods used to increase
the performance and reduce vibration of wood oor systems is to

increase the joist depth, limit joist deections, glue and screw a
thicker, tongue-and-groove suboor, install the joists vertically
plumb with level-bearing supports, and install a direct-attached
ceiling to the bottom anges of the joists.
The oor span tables listed below offer three very different
performance options, based on performance requirements of the
homeowner.

Live Load deection limited to L/480: The

standard for residential oor joists, 33% stiffer
than L/360 code minimum. However, oor
performance may still be an issue in certain
applications, especially with 91/2" and 117/8"
deep joists without a direct-attached ceiling.
Live Load deection limited to L/960+: In

addition to providing a oor that is 100% stiffer
than the three star oor, eld experience has
been incorporated into the values to provide a
oor with a premium performance level for the
more discriminating homeowner.

CAUTION
Live Load deection limited to L/360:

Floors that meet the minimum building code
L/360 criteria are structurally sound to carry
the specied loads; however, there is a much
higher risk of oor performance issues. This

where oor performance is not a concern.

Span table is based on a residential floor load

of 40 psf live load and 10 psf dead load (12 psf
dead load for 900 joists).
Span values are a worst case of simple or
multiple span applications. Joists spaced at
32" on-center require sheathing rated for such
spacing (minimum 7/8" plywood/OSB).
Spans are a clear distance between supports.

Span table assumes that 23/32" min. rated
sheathing is glued and nailed to joists.
Repetitive loading increase has been included,
where applicable.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range

of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specific
application with the BC CALC sizing software.
(Shaded values do not satisfy the requirements of
the North Carolina State Building Code. Refer to the
THREE STAR table when spans exceed 20 feet.)

INSTALLED AS SPECIFIED BELOW. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
CAN RESULT FROM INSUFFICIENT ATTENTION TO PROPER
BRACING DURING CONSTRUCTION. ACCIDENTS CAN BE
AVOIDED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BY FOLLOWING
THESE GUIDELINES:
Build a braced end wall at the end of the bay, or permanently
install the first eight feet of BCI Joists and the first course of
sheathing. As an alternate, temporary sheathing may be nailed to
the first four feet of BCI Joists at the end of the bay.
All hangers, BCI rim joists, rim boards, BCI blocking panels, and
x-bracing must be completely installed and properly nailed as each
BCI Joist is set.
Install temporary 1x4 strut lines at no more than eight feet on
center as additional BCI Joists are set. Nail the strut lines to the
sheathed area, or braced end wall, and to each BCI Joist with two
8d nails.
The ends of cantilevers must be temporarily secured by strut lines
on both the top and bottom flanges.
Straighten the BCI Joists to within 1/2 inch of true alignment
before attaching strut lines and sheathing.
Remove the temporary strut lines only as required to install the
permanent sheathing.
Failure to install temporary bracing may result in sideways buckling
or roll-over under light construction loads.
Do not stack construction materials (sheathing, drywall, etc) in the
middle of BCI Joist spans, contact Boise EWP Engineering for
proper storage and shoring information.

The entire web may be cut out.

DO NOT cut the flanges. Holes
apply to either single or multiple
joists in repetitive member
conditions.
For multiple holes, the amount
of uncut web between holes
must equal at least twice the
diameter (or longest side) of the
largest hole.
11/2" round knockouts in the web
may be removed by using a
short piece of metal pipe and
hammer.
Any
16"
Joist
Select a table row based on joist

depth and the actual joist span
rounded up to the nearest table
span. Scan across the row
to the column headed by the
appropriate round hole diameter
or rectangular hole side. Use
the longest side of a rectangular
hole. The table value is the
closest that the centerline of the
hole may be to the centerline of
the nearest support.
Holes may be positioned vertically anywhere in the web. The

joist may be set with the 11/2"
knockout holes turned either up
or down.
This table was designed to
apply to the design conditions
covered by tables elsewhere
in this publication. Use the BC
CALC software to check other
hole sizes or holes under other
design conditions. It may be
possible to exceed the limitations of this table by analyzing
a specific application with the
BC CALC software.

1. Cut 48" long reinforcers to match the joist depth. Use min. 23/32"
plywood/OSB-rated sheathing, exposure 1, 48/24 span rated. The
face grain must be horizontal (measure the 48" dimension along the
long edge of the panel).
2. Fasten the reinforcer to the joist flanges with 8d nails at 6" o.c. When
reinforcing both sides, stagger the nails to limit splitting the joist
flanges.
3. Attach web stiffeners per intermediate Web Stiffener Nailing Schedule
on page 9.
4. Use the BC CALC software to analyze conditions that are not
covered by this table. It may be possible to exceed the limitations of
this table by analyzing a specific application with BC CALC software.

Web stiffeners are optional except as noted below.

Web stiffeners are always required in hangers that do not extend up to support
the top flange of the BCI Joist. Web stiffeners may be required with certain
sloped or skewed hangers or to achieve uplift values. Refer to the hanger
manufacturer's installation requirements.
Web stiffeners are always required in certain roof applications.
See Roof Framing Details on page 14.
Web stiffeners are always required under concentrated loads that exceed
1000 pounds. Install the web stiffeners snug to the top flange in this situation.
Follow the nailing schedule for intermediate bearings.
Web stiffeners may be used to increase allowable reaction values.
See BCI Design Properties on page 24 or the BC CALC software.

Total Load values are limited by shear, moment, or

deflection equal to L/240.
Table values assume that sheathing is nailed, but not

glued, to the joists.
Live Load values are limited by deflection equal to L/480.

For deflection limits of L/360 and L/960, multiply the Live
Load values by 1.33 and 0.50 respectively.
Total Load values assume minimum bearing lengths

without web stiffeners for joist depths of 16 inches and
less.
Both the Total Load and Live Load columns must be

checked. Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total
Load value will control.
For assistance with floor design, consult the section About

Floor Performance on page 4.
Table values apply to either simple or multiple span joists.

Span is measured center to center of the minimum required
bearing length. Analyze multiple span joists with the
BC CALC software if the length of any span is less than
half the length of an adjacent span.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of

applications. It may be possible to exceed the limitations
of this table by analyzing a specific application with the
BC CALC software.

SAFETY WARNING
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS CAN RESULT FROM INSUFFICIENT ATTENTION TO
PROPER BRACING DURING CONSTRUCTION. ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BY FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES:
DO NOT ALLOW WORKERS ON BCI JOISTS UNTIL ALL HANGERS, BCI

RIM JOISTS, RIM BOARDS, BCI BLOCKING PANELS, X-BRACING AND
TEMPORARY 1x4 STRUT LINES ARE INSTALLED AS SPECIFIED BELOW.
Build a braced end wall at the end of the bay, or permanently install
the first eight feet of BCI Joists and the first course of sheathing.
As an alternate, temporary sheathing may be nailed to the first four
feet of BCI Joists at the end of the bay.
All hangers, BCI rim joists, rim boards, BCI blocking panels, and
x-bracing must be completely installed and properly nailed as each
BCI Joist is set.
Install temporary 1x4 strut lines at no more than eight feet on center
as additional BCI Joists are set. Nail the strut lines to the sheathed
area, or braced end wall, and to each BCI Joist with two 8d nails.
The ends of cantilevers must be temporarily secured by strut lines

on both the top and bottom flanges.
Straighten the BCI Joists to within 1/2 inch of true alignment before
attaching strut lines and sheathing.
Remove the temporary strut lines only as required to install the
permanent sheathing.
Failure to install temporary bracing may result in sideways buckling
or roll-over under light construction loads.
BCI Ceiling Joist with Bevel End Cut (For Limited-Access Attics Only)

LATERAL SUPPORT
BCI Joists must be laterally supported at end supports
(including supports adjacent to overhangs) with hangers,
rimboard, or blocking (VERSA-LAM, Boise Rimboard
or BCI Joist). Metal cross bracing or other x-bracing
provides adequate lateral support for BCI Joists, consult
governing building code for roof diaphragm connection
provisions.
MINIMUM BEARING LENGTH FOR BCI JOISTS

13/4 inches is required at end supports. 31 2 inches is
required at cantilever and intermediate supports.

PROTECT BCI JOISTS FROM THE WEATHER

BCI Joists are intended only for applications that provide
permanent protection from the weather. Bundles of BCI
Joists should be covered and stored off of the ground on
stickers.
MAXIMUM SLOPE
Unless otherwise noted, all roof details are valid for
slopes of 12 in 12 or less.
VENTILATION
The 11/2 inch, pre-stamped knock-out holes spaced at
12 inches on center along the BCI Joist may all be
knocked out and used for cross ventilation. Consult a
ventilation expert for specific requirements.
BIRDSMOUTH CUTS
BCI Joists may be birdsmouth cut only at the low end
support. BCI Joists with birdsmouth cuts may cantilever
up to 2'-6" past the low end support. The bottom flange
must sit fully on the support and may not overhang
the inside face of the support. High end supports and
intermediate supports may not be birdsmouth cut.

Table values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection

equal to L/180 and live load deflection equal to L/240. Check the
local building code for other deflection limits that may apply.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications.

It may be possible to exceed the limitations of this table by
analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.
Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple

span applications.
Slope roof joists at least 14" over 12" to minimize ponding.
Table values assume minimum bearing lengths without web

stiffeners for joist depths of 16 inches and less.
Allowable spans and loads shall be adjusted and checked for

wind load as required by local building code.

Table values are limited by shear, moment, total load deflection

equal to L/180 and live load deflection equal to L/240. Check the
local building code for other deflection limits that may apply.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications.

It may be possible to exceed the limitations of this table by
analyzing a specific application with the BC CALC software.
Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple

span applications.
Slope roof joists at least 14" over 12" to minimize ponding.
Table values assume minimum bearing lengths without web

stiffeners for joist depths of 16 inches and less.
Allowable spans and loads shall be adjusted and checked for

wind load as required by local building code.

Total Load values are limited by shear,

moment, or deflection equal to L/180.
Deflection values (Deflect.) are limited
by live load deflection equal to L/240.
Check the local building code for other
deflection limits that may apply.
Both the Total Load and Deflection
columns must be checked. Where a
Deflection value is not shown, the Total

Table values apply to either simple or

multiple span joists. Span is measured
center to center of the minimum
required bearing length. Analyze
multiple span joists with the BC CALC
software if the length of any span is
less than half the length of an adjacent
span.
Slope roof joists at least 14 inch over
12 inches to minimize ponding.

Table values assume minimum bearing

lengths without web stiffeners for joist
depths of 16 inches and less.
This table was designed to apply to
a broad range of applications. It may
be possible to exceed the limitations
of this table by analyzing a specific
application with the BC CALC
software.
Allowable spans and loads shall be
adjusted and checked for wind load as
required by local building code.

An Introduction to VERSA-LAM Products

When you specify VERSA-LAM laminated veneer
headers/beams, you are building quality into your
design. They are excellent as floor and roof framing
supports or as headers for doors, windows and garage
doors and columns.
Because they have no camber, VERSA-LAM

LVL products provide flatter, quieter floors, and
consequently, the builder can expect happier
customers with significantly fewer call backs.
VERSA-LAM Beam Architectural Specications

Scope: This work includes the complete
furnishing and installation of all VERSALAM beams as shown on the drawings,
herein specified and necessary to complete the work.
Materials: Southern Pine, Eucalyptus
or Douglas fir veneers, laminated in a
press with all grain parallel with the length
of the member. Glues used in lamination
are phenol formaldehyde and isocyanate
exterior-type adhesives which comply with
ASTM D2559.
Design: VERSA-LAM beams shall be
sized and detailed to fit the dimensions
and loads indicated on the plans. All
designs shall be in accordance with allowable values developed in accordance with
ASTM D5456 and listed in the governing
code evaluation service's report and

section properties based upon standard
engineering principles. Verification of
design of the VERSA-LAM beams by
complete calculations shall be available
upon request.
Drawings: Additional drawings
showing layout and detail necessary
for determining fit and placement in the
buildings are (are not) to be provided by
the supplier.
Fabrication: VERSA-LAM beams
shall be manufactured in a plant
evaluated for fabrication by the governing
code evaluation service and under the
supervision of a third-party inspection
agency listed by the corresponding
evaluation service.
Storage and Installation: VERSA-LAM

beams, if stored prior to erection, shall be
stored on stickers spaced a maximum of
15 ft. apart. Beams shall be stored on a
dry, level surface and protected from the
weather. They shall be handled with care
so they are not damaged.
VERSA-LAM beams are to be installed
in accordance with the plans and Boise
EWP's Installation Guide. Temporary
construction loads which cause stresses
beyond design limits are not permitted.
Erection bracing shall be provided to
assure adequate lateral support for the
individual beams and the entire system
until the sheathing material has been
applied.
Codes: VERSA-LAM beams shall
be evaluated by a model code evaluation
service.
Allowable Holes in VERSA-LAM Beams

See Note 3
Notes
1. Square and rectangular holes are not permitted.

2. Round holes may be drilled or cut with a hole saw
anywhere within the shaded area of the beam.
3. The horizontal distance between adjacent holes must be
at least two times the size of the larger hole.
4. Do not drill more than three access holes in any four foot
long section of beam.
5. The maximum round hole diameter permitted is:

A washer not less than a standard cut washer
shall be between the wood and the bolt head and
between the wood and the nut. The distance from
the edge of the beam to the bolt holes must be at
least 2" for 1/2" bolts and 21/2" for 5/8" bolts. Bolt
holes shall be the same diameter as the bolt.

2. The nail schedules shown apply to both sides of a

three member beam.
3. 7" wide beams must be top-loaded or loaded from
both sides.
Designing Connections for

Multiple VERSA-LAM Members
When using multiple ply VERSA-LAM beams to create a wider
member, the connection of the plies is as critical as determining the
beam size. When side loaded beams are not connected properly,
the inside plies do not support their share of the load and thus the
load-carrying capacity of the full member decreases significantly. The
following is an example of how to size and connect a multiple-ply
VERSA-LAM floor beam.
Given: Beam shown below is supporting residential floor load
(40 psf live load, 10 psf dead load) and is spanning 16'-0".
Beam depth is limited to 14".

1. Beams wider than 7" must be designed by the engineer

of record.
4. An equivalent specific gravity of 0.5 may be used when

designing specific connections with VERSA-LAM.
2. All values in these tables may be increased by 15% for

snow-load roofs and by 25% for non-snow load roofs
where the building code allows.
5. Connection values are based upon the 2001 NDS.
3. Use allowable load tables or BC CALC software to

size beams.
6. FastenMaster TrussLok, Simpson Strong-Tie SDS,

and USP WS screws may also be used to connect
multiple member VERSA-LAM beams, contact
Boise EWP Engineering for further information.
Find: A multiple 1 /4" ply VERSA-LAM that is adequate to support the

design loads and the member's proper connection schedule.
3
1. Calculate the tributary width that beam is supporting:

14' / 2 + 18' / 2 = 16'
2. Use PLF tables on pages 28-30 of ESG or BC CALC to size
beam.
A Triple VERSA-LAM 2.0 2800 13/4" x 14" is found to
adequately support the design loads
3. Calculate the maximum plf load from one side
(the right side in this case).
Max. Side Load = (18' / 2) x (40 + 10 psf) = 450 plf
4. Go to the Multiple Member Connection Table, Side-Loaded
Applications, 13/4" VERSA-LAM, 3 members
5. The proper connection schedule must have a capacity greater than
the max. side load:
Nailed: 3 rows 16d sinkers @ 12" o.c:
525 plf is greater than 450 plf OK
Bolts: 1/2" diameter 2 rows @ 12" staggered:
755 plf is greater than 450 plf OK

Total Load values are limited by shear, moment or deection equal to L/240. Total Load values are
the capacity of the beam in addition to its own weight.
Live Load values are limited by deection equal to L/360. Check the local building code for other
deection limits that may apply.
Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications. Span is measured
center to center of the supports. Analyze multiple span beams with the BC CALC software if the
length of any span is less than half the length of an adjacent span.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the Total Load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
For 2-ply, 3-ply or 4-ply beams; double, triple or quadruple Allowable Total Load and Allowable Live
Load values. Minimum Required Bearing Lengths remain the same for any number of plies.
1 inch members deeper than 14 inches are to be used as multiple-member beams only.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specic application with the BC CALC software.

This value cannot be adjusted for load duration.

This value is based upon a load duration of 100% and may be adjusted for other load
durations.
Fiber stress bending value shall be multiplied by the depth factor,
(12/d)1/9 where d = member depth [in].
Stress applied perpendicular to the gluelines.
Tension value shall be multiplied by a length factor, (4/L)1/8 where L = member length [ft].
Use L = 4 for members less than four feet long.
Stress applied parallel to the gluelines.
Design properties are limited to dry conditions of use where the maximum moisture
content of the material will not exceed 19%.
VERSA-LAM Columns
32
The same properties that make VERSA-LAM beams great, also make them highly suitable for wood
columns. In VERSA-LAM columns, you'll find none of the deep checks, cracks or twists that can plague
solid wood columns and there's no need to box in VERSA-LAM beam's good looks.

Notes
Allowable Design Stresses

Modulus of Elasticity:
100%
1)
Table assumes that the column is braced at column ends only. Effective
column length is equal to actual column length.
2)
Allowable loads are based on one-piece column members used in dry

service conditions.
3)
Allowable loads are based on an eccentricity value equal to 0.167 multiplied

by either the column thickness or width (worst case).
4)
Allowable loads are based on axial loaded columns using the design
provisions of the National Design Specication for Wood Construction
(NDS), 2001 edition. For side or other combined bending and axial loads,
see provisions of NDS, 2001 edition.
Load values are not shown for short lengths due to loads exceeding common
connector capacities. Load values are not shown for longer lengths if the
controlling slenderness ratio exceeds 50 (per NDS).

- Bold Italic hangers require web stiffeners.

- Capacities will vary with different nailing criteria and/or support
conditions; contact supplier or Simpson Strong-Tie for further
information.
- Capacity values shown are either hanger capacity values (see support
requirements below) or BCI Joist end reaction capacities whichever
is less.
- All capacity values are downward loads at 100% load duration.
- Use sloped seat hangers when BCI Joist slope exceeds 1/4" per foot.
- Use sloped seat hangers and beveled web stiffeners when BCI Joist
slope exceeds 1/4" per foot.
- Leave 1/16" clearance (1/8" maximum) between the end of the supported
joist and the head of the hanger.
- At max design capacity shown, hangers may exceed standard 1/8"
deection by 1/32".
- For proper installation of the ITT or VPA, the 2-10dx11/2" joist nails
through the bend tabs must be installed at approximately a 45-degree
angle. An alternate fastening method is the installation of a #8x1.25"
screw into the joist through the bottom of the hanger.
Support Requirements
- Support material assumed to be Boise structural composite lumber
or sawn lumber (Douglas r or southern pine species).
- Minimum support width for single- and double-joist top mount hangers
is 3": (11/2" for ITT hangers).
- Minimum support width for face mount hangers with 10d and 16d nails
is 13/4" and 2", respectively.
