The first span table is for roofs where the ceiling is not attached to the rafters (with no snow load), a live load of 20 Psf, a dead load of 20 Psf, and a deflection limit of L/180. The second span table is the same as the first, except it assumes a ground snow load of 50 Psf. When calculating the maximum span of a rafter, use the horizontal ...

Span Tables. Use the span tables in the links below to determine the maximum allowable lengths of joists and rafters. These tables provide maximum spans for the #2 grades of four common species of lumber (Southern Pine, Douglas Fir, Hem-fir, and Spruce-pine-fir (SPF).
Performs calculations for ALL species and grades of commercially available softwood and hardwood lumber as found in the NDS 2018 Supplement. Joists and rafter spans for common loading conditions can be determined. A “span options” calculator allows selection of multiple species and grades for comparison purposes.
The SFPA’s tables list maximum spans for Southern Pine joists and rafters assumes the quality of wood products and fasteners, and the design of load-supporting members and connections, conforms to the National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction published by the American Wood Council (AWC).All members must be framed, anchored, tied, and braced to achieve the required ...
For other grades, loading conditions and on-center spacings, refer to Maximum Spans for Southern Pine Joists & Rafters published by the Southern Forest Products Association. Applied loads for each table are given in pounds per square foot (psf). Deflection is limited to the span in inches divided by 360, 240 or 180 and is based on live load only.
SPFA provides three tables for pressure-treated Southern Pine visual grades No. 1 and No. 2, intended for use under wet-service conditions (floor/deck joists) where moisture content (MC) exceeds 19 percent. For other grades, loading conditions, and on-center spacings, refer to the SFPA’s Maximum Spans for Southern Pine Joists and Rafters ...

Uniform load tables for APA-trademarked structural panels manufactured/qualified in accordance with APA PRP-108. View APA Span Tables.
Allowable span tables are provided to simplify the selection of rafter and ceiling joist size for wood roof framing and cold-formed steel framing. Chapter 8 also provides requirements for the application of ceiling finishes, the proper ventilation of concealed spaces in roofs (for example, enclosed attics and rafter spaces), unvented attic ...
Overview. Resources provide a simplified system to determine allowable joist and rafter spans in one- and two-family dwellings, and the companion supplements for tabulating allowable bending and modulus of elasticity design values for visually graded and mechanically graded dimension lumber. These resources are referenced in the International ...
