Estimate Floor Joists

In this video I demonstrate how to figure the number of floor joist needed for a floor and also how to figure the size of the floor joist.

Help me out a bit bud, I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between girders and beams. I'm build aranch home 50 by 30 and people who are helping me build it recommended girders spaced 8ft. Will that make it possible for use of smaller joists like 2x8 ?

[@timpalmer-logstolumber1999]

Girders are oversized beams. Smaller beams are connected to the larger girders. Girders can be beams but beams cannot be girders. That said, most people use the terms interchangeable. The smaller the distance between them the smaller the joist needed

Hi, could you please the document? Thank you in advance!

[@timpalmer-logstolumber1999]

Not sure what your asking, probably lost in translation.

[@slieep4148]

wait why would you multiply 60 by 12

[@timpalmer-logstolumber1999]

To convert 60 ft to inches so you can divide by 16 in. o.c.
