For 2 TJI joists ends touching free

For 2 TJI joists ends touching free

(OP)
For 2 TJI joists ends touching freely at a point resting on top of a beam, should any special connections (web stiffener?) be used if only top-down forces are acting on the TJI joists? The TJI joists will have roofing resting on the top flange. Thank you

RE: For 2 TJI joists ends touching free

Depends on the end reaction, the bearing length, and the TJI size. Check with the manufacturer's literature, everything you need should be there.

RE: For 2 TJI joists ends touching free

Is there a wood nailer on top of the beam? How are the TJI's attached to the beam?

RE: For 2 TJI joists ends touching free

Generally I would want to have blocking to prevent rotation at the bearing ends (much like a rim joist would do at an "outside" wall.
That might even be a manuf. requirement.
