Timber bearing wall supporting 2 different depth joists
Timber bearing wall supporting 2 different depth joists
(OP)
Working on a timber framed structure and the architect is requesting 14" i-joists in certain areas and 9.5" i-joists in other areas. At some of the interior bearing walls both the 14"& 9.5" joists are to bear on the same wall. Looking for thoughts/input on the most practical way to frame/detail this joist bearing condition. See attached sketch.

But aside from that, I think I would consider using a 1.5 X 16" ripped microlam rim joist over the bearing wall and hang the 9.5" TJI's from the side of the rim joist, bearing the 14" joists on the top of the wall.

Yea, you're correct. 1.5 X 14'a. My typo.
