Floor joists are structural members which support flooring in structures, as in the diagram on the right. The floor sits upon the minor length of the joist, and the joists are set at equal spacing to reach the desired floor stiffness. How many 2x6 joists would it take to equal the floor stiffness of the same floor supported by ten (10) 2x12 joists of the same species?
