Butted over a Girder

Figure 1-20.—Framing for cantilevered joists. joists. When regular floor joists run parallel to the intended overhang, the inside ends of the cantilevered joists are fastened to a pair of double joists (fig. 1-20). Nailing should be through the first regular joist into the ends of the cantilevered joists. Framing anchors are strongly recommended and often required by the specifications. A header piece is also nailed to the outside ends of the cantilevered joists. Butted over a Girder Joist ends can also be butted (rather than lapped) over a girder. The joists should then be cleated together with a metal plate or wooden cleat, as shown in Figure 1-21.—Butting joists over a girder. Figure 1-22.—Butting Joists against a girder. 1-10
