Floor joist is designed for [1.0 x Dead Load + 1.0 x Live Load], based on the AISI-NASPEC 2001 with
2004 supplement and in accordance with ASD method.
The supported span (L1) = 12 ft, and the cantilever span (L2) = 3 ft.
Loads on both supported and cantilever spans of the floor joist are given in Table 1-1.
Lateral and torsional bracing are provided @ 3ft o.c. for top flange.
Lateral and torsional bracing are provided @ 3ft o.c. for bottom flange.
= L/ 240 (for total load), where L is the length of supported span and twice the
length of cantilever span.
The absolute deflection at free end of cantilever is considered in the deflection check.

5.1.1 Flexural Strength at Initiation of Cross-Section Yielding
The flexural strength at initiation of the cross-section yielding has a constant value for all zones
the bending moment diagram of the joist member includes, and the unique variable is the position of the
compression flange; i.e. if it is the upper or the lower one. Considering Zone (1) shown in (Fig. 3-7), the
compression flange of the section is its upper one; and the effective properties of the section can be
calculated by loading the section by a stress gradient (tension-compression), which has the value of the
yielding stress (Fy) at the extreme compression fiber of the section (Fig. 5-1).

5.1.2.3 Effective Area Calculation
The effective area of the section can be calculated by loading the section by a stress gradient
(tension-compression). For Zone (1), the compression flange is the top one; so; this stress has the value
of Fc at the extreme compression fiber as shown in Fig. 5-3.
