Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 1
a) Design the timber floor for a dwelling if it comprises tongued and grooved (T&G)
boards carried by 3.6m span joists at 600mm centres. The load imposed by the
dead weight of the boards is 0.1kN/m, by the joists is 0.12kN/m² and by plaster
celling on the underside 0.18KN/m2. The floor is subjected to a domestic imposed
load of 1.5kN/m?. Use tropical wood - iroko timber, whose density is 657 kg/m.
b) Fig. 1 below shows a house floor which uses 50 mm wide x 150 mm deep timber
joists spaced at 400 mm centres. If the maximum permissible stress in the timber is
limited to 7.5 N/mm², determine the maximum allowable simply supported span of
the floor if it supports the following loads:
Dead load of floor 0.45 kN/m2
Imposed load on floor = 1.5 kN/m²
