Fewer posts on upper level decks are typically more desirable to the occupants and this drives the use of larger framing materials for longer spans.
One way that i have seen an engineer fix a cut floor truss was to gusset on both sides with 1 2 plywood.
The span of a beam is dependent on a few variables.
Angelim pedra 17 600 psi.
An inaccessible attic space on the other hand might have a live load of only 20 psf.
Acacia 17 500 psi.
Here is the strength of the woods in question.
Note that there are several ash species and they are not all the same strength.
2 grade of douglas fir and maximum span floor joists imperial units nails and spikes withdrawal force allowable withdrawal load for nail and spikes softwood and hardwood structural strength classes strength classes bending stress and mean density of hardwood and softwood.
Hi all i have a project where i want to replace some plywood with some aluminum plate.
Resistance may be measured in several ways.
3100 2930 2700 2010 1900 1720 1670 1440 1320 865.
Dense select structural select structural non dense select struc no.
One is the maximum stress that the material can endure before failure occurs.
By sistering up the 2 oc 2x6 with 2x6 s i would think the the strength of the floor would change to 2x6 1 oc.
660 565 480.
First floor live loads have higher requirements than second floor live loads 40 pounds per square foot vs.
To compare to other design loads residential floors are generally 40psf live and 10 psf dead decks and balconies are 60 or 100psf depending on area and 10psf dead load.
Maximum floor joist span no.
Amendoim ybarro 16 900 psi.
Another approach is to measure the deformation or strain that results from a given level of stress before the point of total failure.

In the trailer industry oak decking is referred to as rough oak for a reason.
Oak is one of the only decking materials recommended for use with tracked equipment such as skid steer loaders and excavators.
Rough oak is used for trailer decking primarily for its strength.
Likewise within the white oak grouping some are stronger than others.
Bur oak in the white oak lumber group is 10 300 psi.
Unlike syp oak is typically cut with a band saw rather than a planer.
Strength in bending mor of white oak at 12 percent moisture content mc is 15 200 psi.

The greater the resistance the stronger the material.
A room used solely for sleeping might need to carry only 30 psf whereas a garage floor over a basement would need 50 psf or higher.
Approx strength of wood vs.
I am not an engineer just my thoughts.
The species of lumber size of lumber and the load it carries.
Andiroba 15 620 psi.
