A8). Assume that the spacing between the joists is “L” meters.
Considering a unit width of the plywood the maximum moment assuming the worst case of a
simply supported condition
The section modulus of a meter strip of the plywood spanning between two joists
Z= bd2/6 = 1000 x 202/6 mm3
The maximum flexural stress in the plywood should be less or equal to the allowable flexural
stress
σ = M/Z = {(10 x L2/8) x 106}/ (1000 x 202/6) ≤ 8 Therefore the spacing of the joists
L ≤ 653 mm
The joists are supported on stringers. Let the spacing of the stringers be “L1” meters so that the
span of the joists will be “L1” meters
The load transmitted from the plywood to the joists =10 x 0.653 kN/m
The maximum moment on the joists assuming the worst case of a simply supported condition
The maximum flexural stress in the joists should be less or equal to the allowable flexural stress
Therefore suitable spacing for the joists will be 600 mm and for the stringers it will be at 1 meter
centers.
A9). Assume that the spacing between the joists is “L” meters.
Considering a unit width of the plywood the maximum shear force assuming the worst case of a
simply supported condition
The maximum shear stress = 3Vmax/2bd = (3 x 10 x103 x L/2)/(2 x 1000 x 20) ≤ 0.8
L ≤ 0.8 x 2 x2x 1000 x20/3x 10 x 103
L ≤ 2.13 m
Joists should be placed at 2.0 meter spacing and stringers at 0.62 m centers
A10). Assume that the spacing between the joists is “L” meters.
Consider a unit width of the plywood with a span “L” such that the deflection is limited to L/360.
5WL4/384 EI ≤ L/360
Joists should be placed at 0.55 meter spacing and stringers at 1.2 m centers
A11).
Using a span of 550 for the joists check the span of stringers in flexure and in shear
A12).
Assume the thickness of the plywood facing required is “t” mm
The maximum moment on a joist = WL2/8 = 4 x 103 x L2/8 kNm = 500 x L2 kNm
As the joists are 50 x 100 mm, Z= bd2/6 = 50 x 1002/6 mm3
