EXPLANATION OF TABLES
1. SCOPE
4. MOISTURE CONTENT
These span tables for joists and rafters are calculated on the basis of a series of modulus of elasticity
(E) and bending design values (Fb). Additionally,
compression perpendicular to grain design values
(Fc) are included as a consideration for selection of
joist and rafters. The range of values in the tables
provides allowable spans for all species and grades of
nominal 2-inch framing lumber customarily used in
construction. These span tables assume installation
of at least three joists or rafters that are spaced not
more than 24" on center. The calculated spans
assume fully supported members, properly sheathed
and nailed on the top edge of the joist or rafter.
Straight-line interpolation shall be permitted for intermediate spans and design values.
6. ROOF LOADS
5. SPAN MEASUREMENT
Tabulated spans are the distance from face to
face of supports. For sloping rafters the span is
measured along the horizontal projection. The commentary provides further information on span measurements including a chart which converts horizontal
distances to sloping distances, or vice versa.
3. LUMBER SIZES
Tabulated spans apply to surfaced (S4S) lumber
having dimensions which conform to the American
Softwood Lumber Standard, PS 20-99. These sizes
are as follows:
Nominal
Size
2x4
2x6

7. LUMBER IDENTIFICATION
The tabulated spans in these tables apply to
lumber identified by the grade stamp of, or certificate
of inspection issued by, a lumber grading or inspection
bureau or agency recognized as being competent by
the Board of Review of the American Lumber Standards Committee or the Canadian Lumber Standards
Accreditation Board.
8. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The quality of wood products and fasteners and
the design of load-supporting members and connections shall conform to the NDS. All members shall be
so framed, anchored, tied, and braced that they have
the necessary strength and rigidity. Adequate bracing
and bridging to resist wind and other lateral forces
shall be provided.
9. REQUIRED COMPRESSION
PERPENDICULAR TO GRAIN
The required compression perpendicular to grain
design value, Fc, for the joist or rafter shall be
determined from Table 9.1. The table assumes a total
load of 66.67 plf on the joist or rafter. The required Fc
value shall be permitted to be adjusted in direct
proportion to alternate total loads using factors tabulated in Table 9.2. The commentary outlines several
examples that include provisions for determining required compression perpendicular to grain design
values.

The uniform load, w, is based on the live load
and joist spacing. The moment of inertia, I, is based
on the joist size.
The required bending design value, Fb, is determined based on the calculated span. Note that the
maximum moment, Mmax, of a single span beam with
uniform load is calculated as:

are tabulated in Table 9.1. These values are calculated assuming a bearing width of 1.5", a total load of
66.67 plf, and the calculated span. The 66.67 plf total
load is based on a 40 psf live load and 10 psf dead load
on joists at 16" on center, which is a typical condition
of use. Alternate Fc values are possible by adjusting
the tabulated values in direct proportion to the desired
load. Adjustment factors for various loads and
spacings are tabulated in Table 9.2 for convenience.
Required compression design values perpendicular to
grain are also applicable to bearing plates.

To use the diagram, select the known horizontal distance and follow the vertical line to its intersection with the radial line of the specified slope, then
proceed along the arc to read the sloping distance.
Interpolation is appropriate between the one foot
increments. The diagram also gives the horizontal
distance corresponding to a given sloping distance or
