Roof Joist Shear Deflection
For roof I-joists only, the program applied a 10% reduction to stiffness EI to approximate the effect of shear deflection, but also calculated the change needed in EI to implement shear deflection, compounding the effect of shear deflection. This has been corrected by removing the 10% reduction.
Floor Joist Composite Action
The program now adds a 10% increase in stiffness for floor I-joists to approximate the effects of composite action with the floor sheathing. Customized versions of WoodWorks Sizer for proprietary I-joist manufacturers such as Nordic Engineered Wood and Web Joist include detailed calculations of composite action.
EI in Output
The modified EI for shear deflection and composite action is now shown in the Additional Data of the Design Check report.
