Clear spans shown on this chart are presented under the following conditions.
Depth of residential floor truss spanning 25 0.
The shapes and spans shown here represent only a fraction of the millions of designs produced by alpine engineers.
Maximum deflection is limited by l 360 or l 480 under live load.

3 assumes composite action with a single layer of 3 4 wood sheathing glued and nailed or screwed.
Live load 30 lbs ft 2 1436 n m 2.
Live load is weight of furniture wind snow and more.
Floor truss span chart each individual floor truss design is unique based on multiple variables.
2 strongback bracing is not considered.
This sample table gives minimum floor joist sizes for joists spaced at 16 inches and 24 inches on center o c for 2 grade lumber with 10 pounds per square foot of dead load and 40 pounds of live load which is typical of normal residential construction.
1 bearing size varies and is determined by loading conditions truss span and truss spacing.

True floor joist span calculations can only be made by a structural engineer or contractor.
Alpine truss designs are engineered to meet specific span configuration and load conditions.
