Jun 1, 2011 Thread starter #3 SteveMort Structural Oct 30, 2006 43 I am reading it correctly on the plan; maybe the draftsman wrote it incorrectly? If you have the allowable loads, I can compare the capacity with other joists on the plan (300plf total and 240plf Live +/-) Upvote 0 Downvote

Jun 1, 2011 Thread starter #5 SteveMort Structural Oct 30, 2006 43 Thanks, Mike. Is the 327 plf the total load? Does it also list the allowable live load? Upvote 0 Downvote
