    Chapter 1 Timber Floor

    The document describes different types of timber upper floors: - Single floors use single joists spaced 30-40cm apart to span up to 3.66m. Double floors add intermediate binders to support joists over spans of 3.5-7.5m. Framed floors use girders and triple joists to span over 7.5m. - Single floors are the simplest and cheapest, using planking fixed directly to bridging joists. Double floors add binders to transfer loads to end walls. Framed floors use girders and triple joists of bridging joists, binders, and girders for largest spans. - Construction involves fixing planking

    TIMBER UPPER FLOOR
    • Upper floors are supported either on the walls or on columns.
    • Timber floors are light in weight, have poor fire resistance and sound insulation.

    Types

    I. Single Floors / Single Joist timber floors

    II. Double Floors / Double Joists timber floors

    III. Framed Floors / Triple Joists timber floors


    I. Single Floors / Single Joist timber floors
    • They are the cheapest form of wooden floors.
    • These floors are constructed by fixing 25X30mm thick planking or
    boarding to wooden joists known as “bridging joist” spaced at 30 to 40
    cm apart.
    • The bridging joist are placed along the short span of the room and are
    nailed to timber wall plates fixed in the walls on either end. The span
    for single floor is limited to 3.66m.
    • The depth of joist depends upon the loading conditions of the flooring.
    • The joist should carry the floor loads without deflection. There should
    be gap between the end of the joist and the wall to avoid the decay of
    woodwork.
    • If the span is more than 2.44m the strut is provided in the mid span all
    along the length of floor to avoid the buckling of bridging joist.
    • The depth of joist is determined from the thumb rule.
    • Depth (cm) = (4Xspan in meter) +5cm
    I. Single Floors / Single Joist timber floors
    II. Double Floors / Double Joists timber floors
    • This type of flooring is stronger, and is used for spans
    between 3.5 to 7.5 meters.

    • The bridging joist are supported on intermediate wooden


    supports, called binders.

    • Thus, the loads of bridging joist are 1st transferred to the


    binders and through them to the end walls in the form of
    highly concentrated loads.

    • The centre to centre spacing of the binders varies from 1.8


    to 2.4m.

    • Bridging joist are spaced at 30 cm C/C.


    II. Double Floors / Double Joists timber floors
    III. Framed Floors / Triple Joists timber floors
    • This type of floor is suitable for spans greater than 7.5m, in
    which intermediate supports, known as girders are
    provided for the binders.
    • In this system of wooden flooring, boarding is supported by
    bridging joist laid parallel to the short span. Bridging joist
    are fixed to the binders laid parallel to the long span or at
    right angles to bridging joist. The binders are further
    supported or fixed into large and heavy beams called
    griders which are placed parallel to the short span.
    • The binders are connected to grider by tusk and tenon
    joints to increase the rigidity of the floor.
    III. Framed Floors / Triple Joists timber floors
