For wood structural members having a moisture content of less than 16 per cent at time of installation and used under dry
conditions, the deflection resulting from L + 0.5D is permitted to be substituted for the deflection resulting from L + D.
Note that Burntech® cannot accept responsibility for structural floor support details. All drawings are presented as mere illustrations
to indicate the presence of the underlying floor system. It is the responsibility of the general contractor/installer to consult with a
local licensed design professional for guidance in building a proper floor support system.
ATTENTION:
Figure that these totals for the dead loads are in addition to the actual live load as well as other dead load
requirements for the specified site’s proposed floor. Only the Burntech® weights are known. Other weights are estimates and
are subject to material choices of the installer or owner.
