Design of timber floor joists for a domestic dwelling using timber of strength class C30

Floor width, b = 6.8m and floor span L is 4.05m

Joists are spaced at 600 mm centres
Flooring is tongue and groove of thickness 21mm and self weight of 0.1 kN /m 2
Ceiling is plasterboard with a self weight of 0.2 kN/m 2
Bearing length = 400mm
Area of floor supported by each joist = Joint pitch * floor span
A = 0.6*4.05 = 2.43 m2

Design Actions

Specific permanent action, gk

Block Wall = 4.35 kN/m2 Critical
Roof = 1.2 kN/m2 Critical
Tongue & grove boarding = 0.1 kN/m2
Ceiling = 0.2 kN/m2
Joists (assume) = 0.1 kN/m2

Total characteristic permanent action Gk = 5.95

Specific variable action, qk
Imposed floor load for domestic dwelling (Eur. Intro _Imposed loads) is = 2 kN/m2

Design Load on the joists is

Fd = γG.Gk + γQ.Qk = γG.gk . A + γQ.qk. A
Fd = 1.3*7.15*1.62 + 1.5*2*1.62 = 26.08605 kN

In such moisture conditions most timber will attain an average moisture content not exceeding 20 %. }
Based on clause 2.3.1.3, BS EN 1995

Also as the joists are required to carry permanent and variable (imposed) actions, the critical load duration class is ‘medium-te
Therefore kmod = 0.8 and γGM (for ultimate limit states) = 1.3
As the joists form part of a load sharing system the design strengths can be multiplied by a load sharing factor, ksys  = 1.1

As the (assumed) beam is in bending and is over 150mm depth a value of kh = 1.0 is used
Bending Stress about Y-Y axis is
f m,y,d = kh * ksys * Kmod * fm,k / yM
= 1*1.1*0.8*30/1.3
= 20.307692 N/mm2

If members are not to fail in bending, the following conditions should be satisfied:

σ m,y,d + km * σ m.z.d ≤ 1
f n,y,d f m.z.d

σ m,y,d + 0.7 * 0 ≤ 1

Deflections

Instantaneous deflection due to permanent actions = U inst,G

The Partial factor γM for serviceability limit states = 1.0

Also the factored permanent load G = γG. Gk = 1.0 x 7.15 = 5.95 kN/m2 .

The factored permanent load per joist Fd,G = total load

Fd,G = 9.639

The instantaneos deflection due to permanent actions uinstG results from
