Using Douglas Fir Larch Select Structural grade timber with 17% moisture content,
design the residential deck as shown below (both the joist size and the beam size). The
Floor Board Deck is a tongue and groove deck (Use 6 psf dead load). The live load on
the deck is 65 psf. Joists are spaced at 16'' o.c. with a span length of 10'. Estimate the
weight (dead load) of the joists to be approximately 5 psf. One end of the joist is
supported by a concrete wall and the other end is supported by a solid wood beam. The
joists and beam are to be considered as simply supported. Design for bending and
shear.
