NOTES:
1. Joists are horizontal. Joist spacing of
4598 3090 610mm (24in) o.c. or less
2. U.D.L.'s listed must be reduced, if
necessary, so that the safe working load
of the supporting frames and single post
4598 3090 shores is not exceeded.
3. Stringer joints must be located on the
center lines of the screwjacks on the
frame legs, as illustrated, and not on the
3675 2470 single post shores.
4. Allowable loads are based on a minimum
factor of safety of 2.2 on Ultimate
Strength.
5. Deflections for the shoring arrangements
2560 1720 and loads shown are less than L/360 and
less than 6mm(1/4in).
6. Allowable loads apply to the stringer
standing on its base with the nailing strip
4419 2970 up.
7. Stringer must be supported against lateral
movement at all supports
