ABSTRACT:
Methods for determining appropriate span lengths for a given piece of lumber for use as a joist and conveying that information to a user are provided. The appropriate span length may be a function of load type, amount of load, bending stiffness, joist spacing, or the like. The span lengths may be conveyed via, for example, printing of a table onto the lumber piece itself. A user may then review the table and determine into which applications the lumber may be implemented. Accordingly, the method of the present invention enables more efficient allocation of lumber towards building needs.
