SAFETY WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW WORKERS ON BCI JOISTS UNTIL ALL
HANGERS, BCI RIM JOISTS, RIM BOARDS, BCI BLOCKING
PANELS, X-BRACING AND TEMPORARY 1x4 STRUT LINES ARE
INSTALLED AS SPECIFIED BELOW. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
CAN RESULT FROM INSUFFICIENT ATTENTION TO PROPER
BRACING DURING CONSTRUCTION. ACCIDENTS CAN BE
AVOIDED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BY FOLLOWING
THESE GUIDELINES:
Build a braced end wall at the end of the bay, or permanently
install the first eight feet of BCI Joists and the first course of
sheathing. As an alternate, temporary sheathing may be nailed to
the first four feet of BCI Joists at the end of the bay.
All hangers, BCI rim joists, rim boards, BCI blocking panels, and
x-bracing must be completely installed and properly nailed as each
BCI Joist is set.
Install temporary 1x4 strut lines at no more than eight feet on
center as additional BCI Joists are set. Nail the strut lines to the
sheathed area, or braced end wall, and to each BCI Joist with two
8d nails.
The ends of cantilevers must be temporarily secured by strut lines
on both the top and bottom flanges.
Straighten the BCI Joists to within 1/2 inch of true alignment
before attaching strut lines and sheathing.
Remove the temporary strut lines only as required to install the
permanent sheathing.
Failure to install temporary bracing may result in sideways buckling
or roll-over under light construction loads.
Do not stack construction materials (sheathing, drywall, etc) in the
middle of BCI Joist spans, contact Boise EWP Engineering for
proper storage and shoring information.
applications that assure no exposure to weather or the elements and an environment that is free
from moisture from any source, or any pest, organism or substance which degrades or damages
wood or glue bonds. Failure to correctly store, use or install VERSA-LAM, ALLJOIST, and BCI
Joist in accordance with the Boise EWP Installation Guide will void the limited warranty.

1. Cut 48" long reinforcers to match the joist depth. Use min. 23/32"
plywood/OSB-rated sheathing, exposure 1, 48/24 span rated. The
face grain must be horizontal (measure the 48" dimension along the
long edge of the panel).
2. Fasten the reinforcer to the joist flanges with 8d nails at 6" o.c. When
reinforcing both sides, stagger the nails to limit splitting the joist
flanges.
3. Attach web stiffeners per intermediate Web Stiffener Nailing Schedule
on page 9.
4. Use the BC CALC software to analyze conditions that are not
covered by this table. It may be possible to exceed the limitations of
this table by analyzing a specific application with BC CALC software.

Live Load values are limited by deflection equal to L/480. For deflection
limits of L/360 and L/960, multiply the Live Load values by 1.33 and 0.50
respectively.
Both the Total Load and Live Load columns must be checked. Where a
Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
Table values apply to either simple or multiple span joists. Span is measured
center to center of the minimum required bearing length. Analyze multiple
span joists with the BC CALC software if the length of any span is less than
half the length of an adjacent span.
Table values assume that sheathing is nailed, but not glued, to the joists.
Total Load values assume minimum bearing lengths without web stiffeners
for joist depths of 16 inches and less.
For assistance with floor design, consult the section About Floor
Performance on page 4.

LATERAL SUPPORT
BCI Joists must be laterally supported at end supports
(including supports adjacent to overhangs) with hangers,
rimboard, or blocking (VERSA-LAM, Boise Rimboard
or BCI Joist). Metal cross bracing or other x-bracing
provides adequate lateral support for BCI Joists, consult
governing building code for roof diaphragm connection
provisions.
NAILING REQUIREMENTS
End Wall.
2" x _ outrigger
notched around BCI
top flange. Outrigger
spacing no greater
than 24" on-center.
MAXIMUM SLOPE
Unless otherwise noted, all roof details are valid for
slopes of 12 in 12 or less.
VENTILATION
The 11/2 inch, pre-stamped knock-out holes spaced at
12 inches on center along the BCI Joist may all be
knocked out and used for cross ventilation. Consult a
ventilation expert for specific requirements.
BIRDSMOUTH CUTS
BCI Joists may be birdsmouth cut only at the low end
support. BCI Joists with birdsmouth cuts may cantilever
up to 2'-6" past the low end support. The bottom flange
must sit fully on the support and may not overhang
the inside face of the support. High end supports and
intermediate supports may not be birdsmouth cut.

Total Load values are limited by shear, moment or deection equal to L/240. Total Load values are
the capacity of the beam in addition to its own weight.
Live Load values are limited by deection equal to L/360. Check the local building code for other
deection limits that may apply.
Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications. Span is measured
center to center of the supports. Analyze multiple span beams with the BC CALC software if the
length of any span is less than half the length of an adjacent span.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the Total Load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
For 2-ply, 3-ply or 4-ply beams; double, triple or quadruple Allowable Total Load and Allowable Live
Load values. Minimum Required Bearing Lengths remain the same for any number of plies.
1 inch members deeper than 14 inches are to be used as multiple-member beams only.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specic application with the BC CALC software.

Total Load values are limited by shear, moment or deection equal to L/180. Total Load values are
the capacity of the beam in addition to its own weight.
Live Load values are limited by deection equal to L/240. Check the local building code for other
deection limits that may apply.
Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications. Span is measured
center to center of the supports. Analyze multiple span beams with the BC CALC software if the
length of any span is less than half the length of an adjacent span.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the Total Load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
For 2-ply, 3-ply or 4-ply beams; double, triple or quadruple Allowable Total Load and Allowable Live
Load values. Minimum Required Bearing Lengths remain the same for any number of plies.
1 inch members deeper than 14 inches are to be used as multiple-member beams only.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specic application with the BC CALC software.

Total Load values are limited by shear, moment or deection equal to L/180. Total Load values are
the capacity of the beam in addition to its own weight.
Live Load values are limited by deection equal to L/240. Check the local building code for other
deection limits that may apply.
Where a Live Load value is not shown, the Total Load value will control.
Table values represent the most restrictive of simple or multiple span applications. Span is measured
center to center of the supports. Analyze multiple span beams with the BC CALC software if the
length of any span is less than half the length of an adjacent span.
Table values assume that lateral support is provided at each support and continuously along the
compression edge of the beam.

Table values for Minimum Required Bearing Lengths are based on the allowable compression
design value perpendicular to grain for the beam and the Total Load value shown. Other design
considerations, such as a weaker support material, may warrant longer bearing lengths. Table
values assume that support is provided across the full width of the beam.
For 2-ply, 3-ply or 4-ply beams; double, triple or quadruple Allowable Total Load and Allowable Live
Load values. Minimum Required Bearing Lengths remain the same for any number of plies.
1 inch members deeper than 14 inches are to be used as multiple-member beams only.
This table was designed to apply to a broad range of applications. It may be possible to exceed the
limitations of this table by analyzing a specic application with the BC CALC software.

If more than one row of nails is used, the rows must be offset at least 1/2 inch.
Simpson Strong-Tie A35 and LPT4 connectors may be attached to the side VERSA-LAM//VERSA-RIM. Use nails as specified by
Simpson Strong-Tie.
Nailing Perpendicular to
Glue Lines (Wide Face)
Nailing Notes
1) For 13 4" thickness and greater, 2 rows of
nails are allowed (use 1 2" minimum offset
between rows and stagger nails).
2) For 21 4" thickness and greater, minimum
nail spacing may be reduced to 31 2" (use
3
4" offset for multiple rows).

VERSA-LAM Columns

The same properties that make VERSA-LAM beams great, also make them highly suitable for wood
columns. In VERSA-LAM columns, you'll find none of the deep checks, cracks or twists that can plague
solid wood columns and there's no need to box in VERSA-LAM beam's good looks.

1)
Table assumes that the column is braced at column ends only. Effective
column length is equal to actual column length.
2)
3)
4)
Allowable loads are based on axial loaded columns using the design
provisions of the National Design Specication for Wood Construction
(NDS), 2001 edition. For side or other combined bending and axial loads,
see provisions of NDS, 2001 edition.
Load values are not shown for short lengths due to loads exceeding common
connector capacities. Load values are not shown for longer lengths if the
controlling slenderness ratio exceeds 50 (per NDS).

General Notes
- Bold Italic hangers required web stiffeners.
- Capacities will vary with different nailing criteria and/or support
conditions: contact supplier or USP Structural Connectors for
further information.
- Capacity values shown are either hanger capacity values
(see support requirements below) or BCI Joist end reaction
capacities whichever is less.
- All capacity values are downward loads at 100% load duration.
- Use sloped seat hangers when BCI Joist slope exceeds 1/4" per
foot.
- Use sloped seat hangers and beveled web stiffeners when BCI
Joist slope exceeds 1/4" per foot.
- Leave 1/16" clearance (1/8" maximum) between the end of the
supported joist and the head of the hanger.
- For BCI Joist applications, consult USP for capacity reduction.
Support Requirements
- Support material assumed to be Boise structural composite
lumber or sawn lumber (Douglas r or southern pine species).
- Minimum support width for single- and double-joist top mount
hangers is 3": (11/2" for THO hangers).
- Minimum support width for face mount hangers with 10d and 16d
nails is 13/4" and 2", respectively.
