`146 / Chapter 5 • Wood Light Frame Construction
`
`Floor Framing and Bridging
`
`Floor framing (Figure 5.16) is usually
`laid out in such a way that the ends of
`uncut subflooring panels will fall
`directly over joists; otherwise, many
`panels will have to be cut, wasting
`both materials and time. The stan(cid:173)
`dard joist spacings are 16 or 24 inches
`o.c. ( 406 or 610 mm o.c.; "o.c." stands
`
`for "on center," meaning that the
`spacing is measured from center to
`center of the joists). Occasionally, a
`joist spacing of 19.2 inches ( 486 mm)
`is used. Any of these spacings auto(cid:173)
`matically provides a joist at every
`panel end.
`Subflooring should be glued to
`the joists to prevent squeaking and
`increase floor stiffness (Figure 5.24) .
`
`Plywood and OSB panels mu t be laid
`with the grain of their face layers per(cid:173)
`pendicular to the direction of the
`joists because these panels are consid(cid:173)
`erably stiffer in
`this orientation.
`Sheathing and subflooring panels are
`normally manufactured Y8 inch (3 mm)
`short in each face dimension so that
`they may be spaced slightly apart at
`all their edges to prevent floor buck-
`

`interior beams to prevent overturning of
`the joists. (Photo by the author)

`are o ten used mstead of

`nated veneer lumber (LVL) flanges and a
`~lywood web. !joists are manufactured
`m very long pieces, and tend to be
`str · h
`:Ug ter, stronger, stiffer, and lighter in
`;~•:ht than sawn joists. See also Figure

`Jing during construction from the
`expansion of storm-wetted panels.
`Bridging, which is crossbracing or
`solid blocking between
`joists at
`midspan, is a traditional feature of
`floor framing (Figure 5.25). Its func(cid:173)
`tion is to hold the joists straight and
`to help them share concentrated
`loads. Although many building codes
`no longer require it, bridging should
`
`be used on better-quality buildings
`because it makes a noticeable differ(cid:173)
`ence in the rigidity of a floor.
`Where ends of joists butt into
`supporting headers, as around stair
`openings and at changes of joist
`direction for projecting bays, end
`nails and toe nails cannot carry the
`full weight of the joists, and sheet
`metal joist hangers must be used. Each
`
`Building the Frame / 14 7
`
`provides a secure pocket for the ~nd
`of the joist and punched holes into
`which a number of special short nails
`are driven to make a safe connection.
`Manufactured Ij,pists and floor
`trusses are increasingly used in place
`of sawn joists because they can span
`farther between supports and they
`tend to be straighter (Figures 5.21,
`5.22).
`
`FIGURE 5.22
`These floor trusses (shown here being
`set up for a demonstration house in a
`parking lot) are made of sawn lumber
`members joined by toothed plate connec(cid:173)
`tors. The oriented strand board (OSB)
`web at each end of the truss allows work(cid:173)
`ers to shorten the truss with a saw if nec(cid:173)
`essary. Trusses are deeper than sawn
`joists or I-joists, but can span farther
`between supports and offer large pas(cid:173)
`sages for ductwork and pipes. (Courtesy
