Masonry <br />walls shall be anchored to each tier of wood <br />joists or wood beams bearing on .them at <br />maximum intervals of 4 feet. These anchors <br />shall be metal, having a minimum cross.sec- <br />tion of 1/4 inch by li/4 inch and.at least 16 <br />innches long, securely fastened to the joists or <br />beams and provided with split and upset ends <br />or other means approved by the Building <br />Official for anchoring into masonry. Girders <br />shall be similarly anchored at their. bearings. <br />Anchors shall be attached near the bottom <br />of the framing members. <br />(b) When 'parallel to walls. Masonry <br />walls parallel to wood joists or to wood <br />beams'shall be provided with anchors of a <br />type required .by this section and at maxi- <br />mum intervals of 6 feet engaging not less <br />than three joists or beams. <br />(c) Anchor end o f strap. Upset or "T" <br />ends on anchors shall ,develop the full <br />strength of the anchor strap and shall be <br />solidly embedded in the masonry. . <br />(d) Omission o f anchors. Anchors maybe <br />omitted at the first floor joists when the sup- <br />porting walls are laterally braced by earth, <br />or in any other manner approved by the <br />Building Official, provided that, the: founda- <br />tion walls are bonded to masonry above. <br />1575.05 Fastening of joists and beams to <br />wood construction: <br />(a) Joist, beam or girder, to th'e wall. <br />When enclosing walls are. of wood, each <br />joist, beam; and girder supported by the wall <br />shall be securely spiked or anchored to the <br />wall construction, so ~as to stay in place and <br />74 <br />to resist safely all lifts and lateral pressures <br />required to be assumed by this Dwelling <br />House Code. <br />(b) Girder to girder. Girders shall be <br />fastened to each other where they intersect <br />or abut. <br />(c) Joists into header lieams or girders, <br />Floor joists framing into the side of wood <br />girders or headers shall be supported on <br />metal joist hangers or on a. bearing strip or <br />ledger board fastened to the side of the <br />girders or headers. Such strip or board shall <br />measure at least 2.x 3 inches in section. The <br />notch in the end of the joist .shall not be <br />more than ~4 of the joist depth. Joists shall <br />be spiked to metal joist hangers. When sup- <br />ported on a bearing strip or ledger board, <br />joists .shall be spiked. thereto and shall be <br />further supported by spikes driven through <br />the supporting member into the joists. <br />(d) Joists abutting or lapping at a support. <br />When joists are butted, ties ,shall be of metal <br />not less-than 1/s inch by 1' inch by 18 inches, <br />or of wood not less than,I inch by 2 inches <br />and 2 feet long. When joists are lapped to <br />provide a tie, they shall lap one another not <br />less than 4 niches' and shall be securely <br />spiked together and toe-nailed to support. <br />When joists abut a girder, metal dog anchors, <br />trot' less than 1/s inch by 1. inch in section, <br />shall be driven into the tops of the joists, or <br />metal•straps not less than ~/s inch by 1 inch <br />by 18 inches may be used. Ties shall be <br />spaced not more than 4 feet on centers. In <br />masonry enclosed buildings, ties shall be <br />installed on each line of joists tied to en- <br />closing masonry walls. <br />(e) Metal hangers. Metal hangers for <br />joists, headers, and ~ other framed-in wood <br />members shall be of.a.type approved by the <br />Building Official, shall. provide adequate and <br />firm support, and shall be punched to permit <br />spiking to the supporting and supported <br />members, <br />1575:06 Rafters. <br />' (a) Provision against spreading. Rafters <br />shall be vertically supported near the ridge <br />when the.slope is less than.4 inches per foot, <br />or regardless of slope if they are not held <br />from spreading. Where rafters are not other- <br />wise held against spreading, collar ties shall <br />be provided on every pair of rafters. If the <br />spread of 'the rafters is .prevented .by ties <br />not at the plate line, the size of 'the rafters <br />shall be increased to take care of the addi= <br />tional bending moments induced by the'ties <br />when the roof is loaded with the "maximum <br />vertical load: ~ ~ ' <br />51 <br />~~ ~ - <br /> <br />• <br /> <br />tom plate shall be provided: of the same <br />width as the studs and the partitions shall <br />be fire-stopped. Ribbon boards, which sup- <br />port floor or roof joists, shall be not less <br />than 1 x 4 inches in size and shall be nailed <br />to each stud with two 8d nails. Sills shall be <br />the equivalent of a 2 x 6 inch stud. <br />1545.13 Roof rafters. <br />Roof rafters shall be vertically supported <br />at the ridge or shall be trussed or tied to- <br />gether with not less than 1 x 6 inch collar <br />beams spaced not more than 5 feet on centers <br />and nailed to each rafter with four lOd nails: <br />Wood ' <br />Table 45B <br />'Each rafter shall be fastened to the wall <br />plates or wall studs with not less than two <br />16d nails. <br />1545,14 Multiple joists and rafters. <br />Floor joists under bearing partitions. shall <br />be doubled or formed of built-up sections or <br />may be replaced by a solid section of strength <br />to support the loads. Dormer windows and <br />other openings in roofs shall be framed with <br />double rafters and headers, Valley rafters <br />on spans over 12 feet, measured horizontally, <br />shall be doubled, <br />TABLE 45B ALLOWABLE SPANS OF BEAMS, JOISTS AND RAFTERS$ <br /> JOISTS Supporting Not Supporting <br />Nom- Spac- Finished Ceilings Finished Ceilings _ <br />final ing FLOORS ~ FLAT .
