ANSWER

1 kN Point load deflection for maximum span

Max. Joist Span

5861 mm

Deflection Governs

assuming load sharing action of timber floor deck Load (per joist) 0.36 kN Deflection 2.10 mm

NOTES: Check your local building code for requirements (e.g Loads and Deflection Limits) Assumes simply supported Joist Deflection Limits: Typical Deflection Limits are: L/360 for LL and L/240 for TL minimum L/480 for LL and L/360 for TL for light or sensitive floors or brittle cladding Does not account for point loads - Point load Deflection provided for Information only Does not consider Frequency of Vibration - Additional check required for long spans, e.g. L/500 limit for TL Disclaimer
