  1. Floor Framing Unit 29

  2. Floor Framing Members • Joists • Rest on top of girders • Posts • Pieces of wood or steel which support the girders • Sills • Anchored to the foundation wall for fastening and supporting the joists • Girders • Large beams which support the floor joists • Subflooring • Wood laid over floor joists

  3. Sill plate fastening • ½” bolts are used to attach the sill to the foundation walls • At least 2 bolts in each pair of sills Attaching a Sill Plate to the Foundation Wall

  4. Joist construction • Usually placed 16” on center (OC) • Header joist (Also called a rim joist) should be aligned with the outside edge of the sill • Floor framing openings for chimneys and stairs should be doubled up. • For bay windows, floor joists should be extended beyond the foundation wall • Most common metal connector used in floor framing is the joist hanger

  5. Bridging • Placed at an angle between floor joists • Bridging stiffens the floor and distributes weight evenly on the joists • Bridging can be made of wood or metal

  6. Difference between Girder and Conventional Floor Framing • Built Faster • Members must be heavier • Popular with houses that do not have a basement

  7. Subflooring • Laid directly over floor joists • Plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board) make excellent subflooring • Subflooring…. Not the actual framing……. Can be held together with adhesives along with fasteners

  8. Floor Trusses • Made in a factory to job specifications • Common depths of trusses are 14” and 16” • Can be made to reach from one side of the house to the other • Parallel chord truss has three basic parts • Top chord • Bottom chord • Webs

  9. Wood I-Beams • Also called I-Joists • Not built to specific lengths • Should be stored on edge • Block called a web stiffner should be added to both sides of an I-Beam • Top and bottom Chords are connected by • Wood • Galvanized metal • Each is called a web
