Floor Joist Patch
Floor Joist Patch
(OP)
The top chords of several TJI Floor joists were completely cut by a crazed tile layer.
There is not room or access to place new joists next to the damaged joists.
Would a patch work? I am thinking of packing out the joists with the appropriate sized plywood and sandwiching the damaged section with another appropriately sized material joists and gluing and screwing the whole mess together.
If you think this would work how can i accurately model this patch?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Is the chord material machine stress rated? If so, can you readily obtain this material or use the equivalent of this material?
