Notes to Table A-1:

⁽¹⁾ Spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floor does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾ See Sentence 9.23.9.4.(5) for alternatives to strapping.

Notes to Table A-2:

⁽¹⁾Spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floor does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾No bridging is assumed for spans for floor joists with concrete topping.

Notes to Table A-8:

⁽¹⁾ Beam spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floors does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾ When the floors have a concrete topping of not more than 51 mm, the spans must be multiplied by 0.8

⁽³⁾ Supported length means half the sum of the joists spans on both sides of the beam.

⁽⁴⁾ Straight interpolation may be used for other supported lengths.

⁽⁵⁾ Spans are clear spans between supports. For total span, add two bearing lengths.

⁽⁶⁾ 3-ply beams with supported lengths greater than 4.2 m require minimum bearing length of 114 mm. All other beams require minimum bearing length of 76 mm.

Notes to Table A-9:

⁽¹⁾ Beam spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floors does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾ When the floors have a concrete topping of not more than 51 mm, the spans must be multiplied by 0.8

⁽³⁾ Supported length means half the sum of the joists spans on both sides of the beam.

⁽⁴⁾ Straight interpolation may be used for other supported lengths.

⁽⁵⁾ Spans are clear spans between supports. For total span, add two bearing lengths.

⁽⁶⁾ 3-ply beams require minimum bearing length of 114 mm. 4-ply and 5-ply beams with supported lengths greater than 3 m require minimum bearing length of 114 mm. All other beams require minimum bearing length of 76 mm.

Notes to Table A-10:

⁽¹⁾ Beam spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floors does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾ When the floors have a concrete topping of not more than 51 mm, the spans must be multiplied by 0.8

⁽³⁾ Supported length means half the sum of the joists spans on both sides of the beam.

⁽⁴⁾ Straight interpolation may be used for other supported lengths.

⁽⁵⁾ Spans are clear spans between supports. For total span, add two bearing lengths.

⁽⁶⁾ 3-ply beams with supported lengths greater than 4.2 m require minimum bearing length of 152 mm. All other beams require minimum bearing length of 114 mm.

⁽⁴⁾Spans are valid for glued-laminated timber conforming to CAN/CSA-O122-M and CAN/CSA-O177-M.

⁽⁵⁾Spans are clear spans between supports. For total span, add two bearing lengths.

⁽⁶⁾Provide a minimum bearing length of 89 mm. (Alternatively, the bearing length may be designed in accordance with Part 4.)

Notes to Table A-12:

⁽¹⁾Beam and lintel spans are calculated based on a maximum supported length of 4.9 m. Spans may be increased by 5% for supported lengths of not more than 4.3 m, by 10% for supported lengths of not more than 3.7 m, and by 25% for supported lengths of not more than 2.4 m.

⁽²⁾For ridge beams, supported length means half the sum of the rafter, joist or truss spans on both sides of the beam. For lintels, supported length means half the sum of truss, roof joist or rafter spans supported by the lintel plus the length of the overhang beyond the lintel.

⁽³⁾Provide a minimum bearing length of 76 mm.
