Boise Cascade - Ijoist - Question
(OP)
Hello,
I have the BCI iJoists supporting a second floor - there is going the be just sheetrock below the ijoists. My question is - Is bridging needed for iJoists - is it code satisfactory if there is no bridging for ijoist. If bridging is needed - what type of bridging is recommmended - the ijoist are a little greater that 10 ft. Also, 2 joists have darkened due to being weather exposed - no visible damage though - is it safe?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

generally, as I recall, their code reports will indicate such.
suggest get their report and scan through it.... also, sales rep can prob point you to chapter and verse.
