Sub Floor Girder Siding Stud Framing Diagram

As a general rule the width of the wood post should be equal to the width of the girder it supports.

Sub floor girder siding stud framing diagram. 1 x 6 25 mm x 152 mm subfloor or less to each joist face nail 2 8d 4. Bridging to joist toenail each end 2 8d 3. 2 51 mm subfloor to joist or girder blind and face nail 2 16d 6. A wood post can be secured to a concrete pillar in several ways.

Jack studs and king studs. Normal spacing is 16 inches on center from center to center though some floors may have joists on 12 inch or 24 inch centers. Built up girder and beams 12 16d every 12 on center staggered at the top and bottom. For example a 4 inch wide girder requires a 4 by 4 or 4 by 6 inch post.

In many instances of larger buildings or those with joist spans over 16 feet a girder is installed to provide support for the floor at these locations. With the floor framed in decking or a subfloor is added. Jacks sometimes called trimmers fit under each end of a header and they transfer the load that the header carries down to the bottom plate and the framing beneath. Joist to sill or girder toenail 3 8d.

The header is supported by a jack stud at each end. Each end and splice also needs three 12 16d. Two on each side. Built up corner studs 12 16d every 24 on center.

Floor joists spaced on regular intervals span the areas between supports such as walls foundations girders and beams. Continuous header to stud toenail four 8 12d. Wider than 1 x 6 25 mm x 152 mm subfloor to each joist face nail 3 8d 5. Girder and the ground fig.

The girder should be supported by piers or foundation and footings. Today s girders are commonly made of engineered wood.
