Wood Truss Girder Capacity
Wood Truss Girder Capacity
(OP)
I have a question about a girder in a wood truss floor system. Can a 24" deep multiple ply girder span 25.1' and carry 1278 lb/ft?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

If you can locate the original manufacturer they might be able to get you capacity information.
If not - then probably load testing would be the only way to know.

I see a maximum shear of 16K and a max moment of 100 Kip feet. That amopunt of moment is a lot for a wood beam, an awful lot. The shear is marginal depending on the width, and we nave not addressed deflection yet.
Right now, with no further information, I would defer to the opinion of the truss designer.
