Auto generated beams/ doubled floor joists

Recommended Posts

Working on a plan... When I ran the build, framing, floor command, the I-joists were bound by doubled 2x12's below the 2nd floor walls. That's understandable, but I don't know if the two doubled 2x12's can support the 2nd floor/joists at the 24'-4-1/2" clear span (highlighted in attachment).

 

This may be more of a structural question. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

That's fine, yet most municipalities will require any engineered material to have calculations passed in with the permit application before they'll approve a design. So unless you're an engineer, notate those items to be verified by others. A lot of lumberyards can get the calculations from their engineered material suppliers to submit.
