  2. Blocking (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(construction)

    Blocking also resists the rotational movement, or twisting, of floor joists as they deflect under load. This may take the form of diagonal cross bracing, or herringbone, bracing between floor joists. When solid blocks are used instead of diagonals it is called bridging, block bridging, solid bridging or solid strutting. The illustration, right ...

  3. Cross bracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_bracing

    Cross bracing between joists or rafters strengthens the members by preventing sideways deflection. This bracing is known by many names such as herringbone strutting, blocking, bridging, and dwanging. Cross bracing on a bridge tower.

    Joist bridging, or blocking, is used between floor or ceiling joists, but this is to prevent the joists from (twisting or rotating under load) rather than to prevent buckling in compression. Herringbone strutting may replace blocking with smaller, timber battens fixed diagonally, in pairs, between joists. [7]

    These joists land on a beam. Between some of the joists is a form of pugging used for insulation and air sealing. Image: Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed. Joists can have different joints on either ends such as being tenoned on one end and lodged on the other end. A reduction in the under-side of cogged joist-ends may be square, sloped or ...

    However, because the building codes, terminology and measuring systems are different between the U. S. and the places dwang is commonly used I think it would be reasonable to keep both articles with the article dwang clearly identified as discussing nogs in specific countries and the article blocking only discussing U. S. issues in American ...

    The CJ-Series Joists are capable of supporting larger floor or roof loadings due to the attachment of the concrete slab to the top chord of the composite joist. Shear connection between the concrete slab and steel joist is typically made by the welding of shear studs through the steel deck to the underlying CJ-Series Composite Steel Joist. [2]
