RIM AND BLOCKING CAPACITY

DESIGN VALUES

NOTES:1. Moment, Shear and Reaction Capacity values are for normal load duration and may be adjusted according to code.2. When calculating deflection, both bending and shear deformation must be determined as follows:

For simple span, uniform load: Δ = + Where: Δ = deflection in inches EI = bending stiffness from tablew = uniform load in plf K = shear stiffness from tableL = design span in feet

3. The Moment capacity shall not be increased by any code-allowed repetitive member use factor.4. These design values are based on the product being used in a dry, well ventilated environment where the moisture content will not exceed

16% - such as in most covered structures. These products are intended to resist the effects of moisture on structural performance fromnormal construction delays but are not intended for permanent exposure to the weather.

WEB STIFFENER REQUIREMENTS NOTES:1. Web stiffeners, when required, must be installed in pairs – one to each side

of the web. Web stiffeners are always required for the “Bird’s Mouth” roofbearing detail.

2. Web stiffeners should be cut to fit between the flanges of the I-Joist, leavinga minimum 1/8" gap (1" maximum). At bearing locations, the stiffenersshould be installed tight to the bottom flange with the gap to the top flange.At locations of concentrated loads, the stiffeners should be installed tight tothe top flange with the gap to the bottom flange.

3. Web stiffeners should be cut from APA-Rated OSB (or equal). 2X lumber ispermissible. Do NOT use 1x lumber as it tends to split.

4. Web stiffeners should be the same width as the bearing surface, with aminimum of 3-1/2".

5. See Web Stiffener Requirements table above for minimum stiffener thickness,maximum stiffener height and required nailing.

SIMPLE SPAN TABLES

3 © 2006 Louisiana-Pacific Corporation

Floor Span Tables

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. The spans listed are the clear distance between supports.2. The spans are based on uniform loads only.3. These tables reflect the additional stiffness provided by 23/32” OSB APA-Rated

Sheathing (48/24) or APA-Rated Sturd-I-Floor (24" oc), or equivalent, glued and nailedto the top flange of the joists.

4. Live load deflection has been limited to L /480 or L /360 as indicated in the tablesabove (L /480 only for continuous spans).

5. Total deflection has been limited to L /240. Those spans that exceed 3/4" of totaldeflection are shown in bold.

6. The spans are based on the minimum required bearings as listed on page 2.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:1. Web stiffeners are not required for any of the spans listed in the Simple Span tables. Web stiffeners are only

required for the Continuous Span tables in the “With Web Stiffeners” section. A “-” indicates that there is noincrease in span through the use of web stiffeners. Web fillers are required for joists seated in hangers thatdo not laterally support the top flange.

2. L /360 is the minimum deflection criteria allowed per code, which allows the maximum amount of deflectionin the floor.

3. The design of continuous spans is based on the longest span. The shortest span must not be less than 50%of the longest span.

4. These spans are not evaluated for vibration.5. Bridging, blocking, a direct-applied ceiling and/or bottom-flange bracing, though not required for vertical

load capacity, can improve floor vibration and bounce.6. For conditions not shown, use the Uniform Floor Load (PLF) tables or contact your LP Engineered Wood

Products distributor for assistance.

TO USE:1. Select the appropriate table based on the project design loads.2. For simple spans, select the L /480 or L /360 section of that table, as required.

For continuous spans, select the section with or without web stiffeners, as needed.3. Find a span that meets or exceeds the design span.4. Read the corresponding joist depth and spacing.

Caution: For floor systems that require both simple span and continuous span joists, it is a good idea to check both before selecting a joist. Some conditions are controlledby continuous span strength rather than simple span deflection.

Uniform Floor Load (PLF) Tables: Simple Spans

TO USE:1. Select the span required. 2. Compare the design total load to the Total Load column. Where two numbers are

shown, the first number represents the Total Load capacity without web stiffeners.The second number represents the Total Load capacity with stiffeners. (SeeAdditional Notes below.)

3. Compare the design live load to the appropriate Live Load column.4. Select a product that exceeds both the design total and live loads.5. Specify web stiffeners as dictated by the Total Load column.

EXAMPLE:An I-Joist has the simple clear span of 22'-6", supporting 50 psf Floor Load and 25 psf Dead Load, spaced 24" oc. Select the shallowest joist that satisfies an L /600 live load deflection limit.1. Design Total Load = (50 + 25) * (24 / 12) = 150 plf

Design Live Load = 50 * (24 / 12) = 100 plf2. Select the row corresponding to a 23' span.3. Use the 22" LPI 36: Total Load = 162 plf and the Live Load at L/600 = 102 plf.

NOTE: Web stiffeners required at both end supports. (Exceeds Total Load without stiffeners = 102 plf)

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. Span is the clear distance between supports and is for simple spans only.2. The values are based on uniform loads of standard duration.3. These tables assume that the joist is NOT a repetitive member, therefore load

sharing has not been applied. Also, the deflection values do not reflect any additional stiffness due to composite action.

4. Total deflection has been limited to L/240. Long term deflection (creep) hasNOT been considered.

5. These tables assume full lateral support of the compression flange. Fullsupport is considered to be a maximum unbraced length of 24".

6. The values are based on the minimum required bearings as listed on page 2.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:1. The values represent the capacity of the joist in pounds per lineal foot (plf) of length. 2. The designer must check both the Total Load and the appropriate Live Load columns. 3. To design for a double I-Joist, the values in these tables can be doubled, or the design loads on the joist may be halved to

verify the capacity of each ply. The capacity is additive.4. Web stiffeners are not required where only one value is shown for Total Load or when the design total load does NOT exceed

the first value in the Total Load column where two values are given. Web stiffeners ARE required at both end supports if thedesign total load exceeds the first value (capacity without stiffeners) but does not exceed the second value (capacity withstiffeners). Web fillers are required for joists seated in hangers that do not laterally support the top flange or for hangers thatrequire nailing into the web.

5. Where the Live Load is blank, the Total Load governs the design.6. Do not use a product where designated “-” without further analysis by a professional engineer.

shown, the first number represents the Total Load capacity without web stiffeners. The second number represents the Total Load capacity with stiffeners. (SeeAdditional Notes below.)

3. Compare the design live load to the appropriate Live Load column.4. Select a product that exceeds both the design total and live loads.5. Specify web stiffeners as dictated by the Total Load column.

EXAMPLE:An I-Joist has the continuous clear spans of 20'-8" and 22'-6", supporting 50 psf Floor Loadand 25 psf Dead Load, spaced 24" oc. Select the shallowest joist that satisfies an L /600 liveload deflection limit.1. Design Total Load = (50 + 25) * (24 / 12) = 150 plf

Design Live Load = 50 * (24 / 12) = 100 plf2. Select the row corresponding to a 23' span.3. Cannot use the LPI 36 series: maximum Total Load = 120 plf.

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. Span is the clear distance between supports and is for continuous spans only.

The design of continuous spans is based on the longest span. The shortestspan must not be less than 50% of the longest span.

2. The values are based on uniform loads of standard duration.3. These tables assume that the joist is NOT a repetitive member, therefore load

sharing has not been applied. Also, the deflection values do not reflect any additional stiffness due to composite action.

4. Total deflection has been limited to L/240. Long term deflection (creep) hasNOT been considered.

5. These tables assume full lateral support of the compression flange. Fullsupport is considered to be a maximum unbraced length of 24".

6. The values are based on the minimum required bearings as listed on page 2.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:1. The values represent the capacity of the joist in pounds per lineal foot (plf) of length. 2. The designer must check both the Total Load and the appropriate Live Load columns. 3. To design for a double I-Joist, the values in these tables can be doubled, or the design loads on the joist may be halved to

verify the capacity of each ply. The capacity is additive.4. Web stiffeners are not required where only one value is shown for Total Load or when the design total load does NOT exceed

the first value in the Total Load column where two values are given. Web stiffeners ARE required at interior supports if thedesign total load exceeds the first value (capacity without stiffeners) but does not exceed the second value (capacity withstiffeners). Additionally, if the second value is marked *, web stiffeners are required at all supports. Web fillers are requiredfor joists seated in hangers that do not laterally support the top flange or for hangers that require nailing into the web.

5. Where the Live Load is blank, the Total Load governs the design.6. Do not use a product where designated “-” without further analysis by a professional engineer.

Uniform Roof Load (PLF) Tables: Simple Spans

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. Span is the clear distance between

supports, along the length of thejoist, and is for simple spans only.

2. The values are based on uniformloads only.

3. These tables assume that the joistis NOT a repetitive member,therefore load sharing has not beenapplied. Also, the deflection valuesdo not reflect any additionalstiffness due to composite action.

4. Total deflection has been limited toL/180. Long term deflection (creep)has NOT been considered.

5. These tables assume full lateralsupport of the compression flange.Full support is considered to be amaximum unbraced length of 24".

6. The values are based on theminimum required bearings aslisted on page 2.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:1. The values represent the capacity of the joist in pounds per lineal foot (plf) of length. 2. The designer must check the appropriate Total Load column and the Live Load column. 3. For roofs with a slope of 2:12 or greater, the horizontal span must be multiplied by the appropriate slope

adjustment factor from the table at the bottom of this page.4. To design for a double I-Joist, the values in these tables can be doubled, or the design loads on the joist

may be halved to verify the capacity of each ply. The capacity is additive.

TO USE:1. Select the span required. For roofs with a slope of 2:12 or greater, the horizontal

span must be multiplied by the appropriate roof slope adjustment factor from thetable at the bottom of this page.

2. Compare the design total load to the appropriate Total Load column for Snow (115%) or Non-Snow (125%). Where two numbers are shown, the first number represents the Total Load capacity without web stiffeners. The second number represents the TotalLoad capacity with stiffeners. (See Additional Notes below.)

3. Compare the design live load to the Live Load column (L /240).4. Select a product that exceeds both the design total and live loads.5. Specify web stiffeners as dictated by the Total Load column.

EXAMPLE:An I-Joist has the horizontal clear span of 22'-6", supporting 50 psf Snow Load (115%) and 15 psf DeadLoad, spaced 24" oc, with a slope of 4:12. Select a joist that satisfies an L /240 live load deflection limit.1. Sloped Span = (22 + 6/12) * 1.054 = 23.7' ∞ use 24'2. Design Total Load = (50 + 15) * (24 / 12) = 130 plf

Design Live Load = 50 * (24 / 12) = 100 plf3. Select the row corresponding to a 24' span.4. Use the 16" LPI 36: Total Load (115%) = 141 plf and the Live Load at L /240 = 119 plf

NOTE: Web stiffeners required at both end supports. (Exceeds Total Load without stiffeners = 113 plf)ALSO: For an L /360 live load deflection limit, increase to an 18" LPI 36 from page 4 (L /360 = 101 plf).

Web stiffeners are not required where only one value is shown for Total Load or when the designtotal load does NOT exceed the first value in the Total Load column where two values are given.Web stiffeners ARE required at both end supports if the design total load exceeds the first value(capacity without stiffeners) but does not exceed the second value (capacity with stiffeners).Web fillers are required for joists seated in hangers that do not laterally support the top flangeor for hangers that require nailing into the web.

6. Where the Live Load is blank, the Total Load governs the design.7. To design for a live load limit of L /360, L /480 or L /600, use the Uniform Floor Load tables.8. Do not use a product where designated “-” without further analysis by a professional engineer.

Uniform Roof Load (PLF) Tables: Continuous Spans

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. Span is the clear distance between

supports, along the length of thejoist, and is for continuous spansonly. The design of continuousspans is based on the longest span.The shortest span must not be lessthan 50% of the longest span.

2. The values are based on uniformloads only.

3. These tables assume that the joistis NOT a repetitive member,therefore load sharing has not beenapplied. Also, the deflection valuesdo not reflect any additionalstiffness due to composite action.

4. Total deflection has been limited toL/180. Long term deflection (creep)has NOT been considered.

5. These tables assume full lateralsupport of the compression flange.Full support is considered to be amaximum unbraced length of 24".

6. The values are based on theminimum required bearings aslisted on page 2.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:1. The values represent the capacity of the joist in pounds per lineal foot (plf) of length. 2. The designer must check the appropriate Total Load column and the Live Load column. 3. For roofs with a slope of 2:12 or greater, the horizontal span must be multiplied by the appropriate slope

adjustment factor from the table at the bottom of this page.4. To design for a double I-Joist, the values in these tables can be doubled, or the design loads on the joist

may be halved to verify the capacity of each ply. The capacity is additive.

TO USE:1. Select the span required. For roofs with a slope of 2:12 or greater, the horizontal span

must be multiplied by the appropriate roof slope adjustment factor from the table atthe bottom of this page.

2. Compare the design total load to the appropriate Total Load column for Snow (115%) or Non-Snow (125%). Where two numbers are shown, the first number represents the Total Load capacity without web stiffeners. The second number represents the TotalLoad capacity with stiffeners. (See Additional Notes below.)

3. Compare the design live load to the Live Load column (L /240).4. Select a product that exceeds both the design total and live loads.5. Specify web stiffeners as dictated by the Total Load column.

EXAMPLE:An I-Joist has the horizontal clear span of 20'-8", supporting 50 psf Snow Load (115%) and 15 psf Dead Load, spaced 24" oc, with a slope of 4:12. Select a joist that satisfies an L /240 live load deflection limit.1. Sloped Span = (22 + 6/12) * 1.054 = 23.7' ∞ use 24'2. Design Total Load = (50 + 15) * (24 / 12) = 130 plf

Design Live Load = 50 * (24 / 12) = 100 plf3. Select the row corresponding to a 24' span.4. Use the 16" LPI 36: Total Load (115%) = 132 plf. Live Load at L /240 does not control.

NOTE: Web stiffeners required at all supports. (Exceeds Total Load without stiffeners = 106 plf, and marked *)

TO USE:1. Select the required product from the left column.2. Determine the support condition for the nearest bearing: end support or interior support (including end supports with cantilevers).3. Select the row corresponding to the required span. For spans between those listed, use the next largest value.4 Select the column corresponding to the required hole diameter. For diameters between those listed, use the next largest value.5. The intersection of the Span row and Hole Diameter column gives the minimum distance from the inside face of bearing to the center of the circular hole.6. Double check the distance to the other support, using the appropriate support condition.

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. The hole locations listed above are valid for floor joists supporting only uniform loads as follows:

For joists 16" deep and less, the total uniform load must not exceed 130 plf (e.g., 40 psf Live Loadand a 25 psf Dead Load, spaced up to 24" oc). The uniform dead load must be at least 10 plf.For joists greater than 16" deep, the total uniform load must not exceed 190 plf (e.g., 50 psf LiveLoad, 25 psf Dead Load with a 20 psf Partition Load, spaced up to 24" oc). The uniform dead loadmust be at least 25 plf. An additional concentrated “safe” load of 2000 lbs acting over 6.25 ft2

(2.5' x 2.5') has also been included.2. Hole location is measured from the inside face of bearing to the center of a circular hole, from the

closest support.3. Clear Span has NOT been verified for these joists and is shown for informational purposes only!

Verify that the joist selected will work for the span and loading conditions needed before checkinghole location.

4. Maximum hole depth for circular holes is Joist Depth less 4", not to exceed 14", except themaximum hole depth is 6" for 9-1/2", and 8" for 11-7/8" LP I-Joists.

5. Holes cannot be located in the span where designated “-”, without further analysis by aprofessional engineer.

NOTES:1. CUT HOLES CAREFULLY! DO NOT OVERCUT HOLES! DO NOT CUT JOIST FLANGES!2. Holes may be placed anywhere within the depth of the joist. A minimum 1/4" clear distance is

required between the hole and the flanges.3. Round holes up to 1-1/2" diameter may be placed anywhere in the web.4. Perforated “knockouts” may be neglected when locating web holes.5. Holes larger than 1-1/2" are not permitted in cantilevers without special engineering.6. Multiple holes must have a clear separation along the length of the joist of at least twice the

length of the larger adjacent hole, or a minimum of 12" center-to-center, whichever is greater.7. Multiple holes may be spaced closer provided they fit within the boundary of an acceptable larger

hole. Example: two 3" round holes aligned parallel to the joist length may be spaced 2" apart(clear distance) provided that a 3" high by 8" long rectangle or an 8" diameter round hole areacceptable for the joist depth at that location and completely encompass the holes.

8. Not all series are available in all depths. Check availability with a local LP Engineered Wood Products distributor.

9. Locating holes in joists with spans exceeding those in the tables or larger holes, greater uniformloads or non-uniform loads, and closer proximity to supports and other holes may be possible withanalysis using LP’s design software. Please contact your local LP Engineered Wood Productsdistributor for more information.

TO USE:1. Select the required product from the left column.2. Determine the support condition for the nearest bearing: end support or interior support (includes end supports with cantilevers).3. Select the row corresponding to the required span. For spans between those listed, use the next largest value.4. Select the column corresponding to the required hole dimension. For dimensions between those listed, use the next largest value.5. The intersection of the Span row and Hole Dimension column gives the minimum distance from the inside face of bearing to the nearest edge of the rectangular hole.6. Double check the distance to the other support, using the appropriate support condition.

Series DepthClear Distance from End Support Distance from Interior or Cantilever-End SupportSpan Maximum Hole Dimension: Depth or Width Maximum Hole Dimension: Depth or Width(ft) 2" 4" 6" 8" 10" 12" 14" 16" 2" 4" 6" 8" 10" 12" 14"

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS:1. The hole locations listed above are valid for floor joists supporting only uniform loads as follows:

For joists 16" deep and less, the total uniform load must not exceed 130 plf (e.g., 40 psf Live Loadand a 25 psf Dead Load, spaced up to 24" oc). The uniform dead load must be at least 10 plf.For joists greater than 16" deep, the total uniform load must not exceed 190 plf (e.g., 50 psf LiveLoad, 25 psf Dead Load with a 20 psf Partition Load, spaced up to 24" oc). The uniform dead loadmust be at least 25 plf. An additional concentrated “safe” load of 2000 lbs acting over 6.25 ft2

(2.5' x 2.5') has also been included.2. Hole location is measured from the inside face of bearing to the nearest edge of a rectangular hole,

from the closest support.3. Clear Span has NOT been verified for these joists and is shown for informational purposes only!

Verify that the joist selected will work for the span and loading conditions needed before checkinghole location.

4. Maximum hole depth for rectangular holes is Joist Depth less 4", not to exceed 14", except themaximum hole depth is 6" for 9-1/2", and 8" for 11-7/8" LP I-Joists. Maximum hole width forrectangular holes is 18". Where the Maximum Hole Dimension for rectangular holes exceeds themaximum hole depth, the dimension refers to hole width, and the hole depth is assumed to be themaximum for that joist depth.

5. Holes cannot be located in the span where designated “-”, without further analysis by aprofessional engineer.

NOTES:1. CUT HOLES CAREFULLY! DO NOT OVERCUT HOLES! DO NOT CUT JOIST FLANGES!2. Holes may be placed anywhere within the depth of the joist. A minimum 1/4" clear distance is

required between the hole and the flanges.3. Round holes up to 1-1/2" diameter may be placed anywhere in the web.4. Perforated “knockouts” may be neglected when locating web holes.5. Holes larger than 1-1/2" are not permitted in cantilevers without special engineering.6. Multiple holes must have a clear separation along the length of the joist of at least twice the

length of the larger adjacent hole, or a minimum of 12" center-to-center, whichever is greater.7. Multiple holes may be spaced closer provided they fit within the boundary of an acceptable larger

hole. Example: two 3" round holes aligned parallel to the joist length may be spaced 2" apart(clear distance) provided that a 3" high by 8" long rectangle or an 8" diameter round hole areacceptable for the joist depth at that location and completely encompass the holes.

8. Not all series are available in all depths. Check availability with a local LP Engineered Wood Products distributor.

9. Locating holes in joists with spans exceeding those in the tables or larger holes, greater uniformloads or non-uniform loads, and closer proximity to supports and other holes may be possible withanalysis using LP’s design software. Please contact your local LP Engineered Wood Productsdistributor for more information.

RIM BOARD WEIGHTS BY THICKNESS (PLF)

INSTALLATION

An Exact Match To Our LP I-Joist Depths

LP OSB Rim Board is a strong, cost-effective complement to LP’s engineered

floor system. LP I-Joists and LP LVL beams offer many advantages over

conventional framing. Now LP OSB Rim Board completes LP’s floor system

package with an easy, reliable way to finish off floor and roof installations.

• Quick and convenient, LP OSB Rim Board is precision cut to match our 9 -1/2", 11-7/8", 14" and 16" LP I-Joist depths.

• 12'- 0" and 16'- 0" lengths mean your LP engineered floor system goes together even faster.

• Eliminates inaccuracies and time involved in ripping plywood rim.

• High load capacity means squash blocks are unnecessary on most multi-story applications.

• Flat surface means easy fastening for siding.

• LP OSB Rim Board is manufactured using predominantly fast growingtrees, a renewable resource that leaves our old-growth forests for future generations to enjoy.

Fastener Values

(1) Nail Values: For nails installed into the wide face of LP OSB Rim Board,

use the values for Douglas Fir lumber (Specific Gravity, SG=0.50) per

the National Design Specification™ for Wood Construction. To allow for the

16d nails from the sole plate above into the top edge of the rim, the deck

nailing must be at least 6" oc and the 16d nails must be spaced in

accordance with the prescriptive requirements of the code.

(2) Bolt & Lag Screw Values: For 1/2" diameter through-bolts and lag

screws installed in the wide face and loaded in single shear,

perpendicular-to-grain, the allowable capacity is:

∞ 300 lbs. for 1" rim board

∞ 350 lbs. for 1-1/8" rim board

Lag screws must be at least 4" long.

NOTE: Rim board must be connected to wall plate and floor deck.See detail below.

8d (box or common) or 10dbox nails, one at top, oneat bottom of each I-Joist
