Floor Joist Calculation

Joist Span = 3.66 m


Tributary Area = 0.4(3.66)= 1.46 sqm

Dead Load:
Gypsum Topping 1” thick = 7.9 (.0254)(0.4)= 0.08 KN/m
Panel Sheating = 5.7 (0.016)(0.4) = 0.04 KN/m
Framing, 50x350mm @ 0.4 m o.c = 0.69 (9.81)(0.05)(0.35)=0.09 KN/m
Partition:
Wood Studs = 0.19(3) = 0.57 KN/m
Plywood 1/2” = 0.006 (12.7)(2)(3) = 0.46 KN/m
Ceiling Plywood Sheating 1/2” thick = 5.7( 0.0127)(0.4) = 0.03KN/m
Mechanical & Electrical = 0.38 (0.4) = 0.15 KN/m
Total Uniform Dead Load ,Wdl= 1.45 KN/m

Live Load:
Private Room = 1.90 KPa
TA= 2.26 sqm < 15 sqm ; LL=1.90 KPa< 4.80 KPa
No live load reduction is permitted
Total Uniform Dead Load,Wll = 1.90(0.4) = 0.76 KN/m

Wtl = Wdl + Wll = 1.45 + 0.76 = 2.21 KN/m

3.66 m
P2 P1

P1=P2= Vmax = 2.21(3.66)(3.66)/2 = 14.80 KN


Mmax = 2.21(3.66)(3.66)/8 = 3.70 KN.m

From NSCP 2015 Table 615.2-1.Design Stresses of Molave Wood with 63% stress
grade.Classified as dimension lumber.
Fb,Ft = 18.9 MPa
Fc = 5150 MPa
Fcp = 5.0 MPa
Fv = 2.27 MPa

Check of Bending Stress


Sxx,required = Mmax/ Fb = 3.70 x 10^6 / 18.9 = 195 767.20 mm^3
bd^2/6 = 195 767.20 ; b= d/2
d/2(d^2) = 195 767.20
d= 132.94 say 200 mm
b= 200/2 = 100 mm
Sxx,provided = bd^2/6 = 100(200)^2/6 = 666 666.67 mm^3

Sxx,provided >Sxx,required (safe)

Applied Bending Stress:


fb = Mmax/Sxx,p = 3.70 x 10^6/
