Built up corner studs 12 16d every 24 on center.

Wider than 1 x 6 25 mm x 152 mm subfloor to each joist face nail 3 8d 5. 1 x 6 25 mm x 152 mm subfloor or less to each joist face nail 2 8d 4. Jacks sometimes called trimmers fit under each end of a header and they transfer the load that the header carries down to the bottom plate and the framing beneath. Today s girders are commonly made of engineered wood.

Built up girder and beams 12 16d every 12 on center staggered at the top and bottom. Each end and splice also needs three 12 16d. The girder should be supported by piers or foundation and footings. Floor joists spaced on regular intervals span the areas between supports such as walls foundations girders and beams.

For example a 4 inch wide girder requires a 4 by 4 or 4 by 6 inch post. Nailed to the jacks are full height studs called king studs. Two on each side. Girder and the ground fig.

Bridging to joist toenail each end 2 8d 3. As a general rule the width of the wood post should be equal to the width of the girder it supports. Wood wood posts are placed directly below wood girders. 2 51 mm subfloor to joist or girder blind and face nail 2 16d 6.

Jack studs and king studs. Joist to sill or girder toenail 3 8d. The header is supported by a jack stud at each end. Continuous header to stud toenail four 8 12d.

In many instances of larger buildings or those with joist spans over 16 feet a girder is installed to provide support for the floor at these locations. Normal spacing is 16 inches on center from center to center though some floors may have joists on 12 inch or 24 inch centers.
