LH joists - end panels
LH joists - end panels
(OP)
Does anyone know why you would select a 5" seat (standard bearing) over a bottom bearing seat (full depth) when using these huge joists? TIA
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: LH joists - end panels
1. Cost. I'm not sure of the exact difference, but I know you pay a premium for non-standard conditions.
2. Depending on what you're bearing on, it's much easier to fill in around a joist seat with (e.g.) masonry than a full depth seat.
3. Possibly lateral bracing of the top flange at ends of the joists over the support.
The only time I've used bottom bearing joists is in cantilever situations.
