(OP)
Does anyone have a load table that shows 44" deep TJL joists that span 49 feet? Non-Snow area. Construction from the late 70s.

Redbuilt hasn't been much help.

RE: TJL

Is this a Trus Joist wood I-beam??

Trus Joist open web member

RE: TJL

I may have that at work but won't be back until Monday.  Sorry

RE: TJL

Have you tried TrusJoist or I think they call themselves Ilevel??

RE: TJL

Weyerhauser now. But I think they sold the commercial division, or dissolved it...  

RE: TJL

(OP)
They are Red Built now- but their current load tables don't go that deep. Their engineering department was not able to find an old copy of a load table that matches this joist.

RE: TJL

In that Truss Joist made them in '79, they should have the info in their archives.  My old TJ catalogues are packed away, but I will try to look.

RE: TJL

My oldest tables only go back to 97 (older were tossed) and the TJL's only went to 40".  There are other series that go beyond, but I doubt that is any help.
