Considerations in Determining Girder
Saturday, 12 April 2008 08:48
Girder is the structural member of a building that carries the floor joist and the flooring. It is determined by the Direct Counting Method based from the floor framing plan of the building. The length however, is determined under the following considerations:

1. If the span or distance of the post is indicated from the center to center, the length of the girder is equal to the span plus the width or one side of the post.
2. If the span of the post indicates from outer to outer side of the post, the girder length is equal to the span of the post.

3. If the span or distance indicate from center to outer side of the posts, the length of the girder is equal to the span plus one half the width of one post.

4. If the span or distance of the post indicate measurement, the length of the girder is equal to the span plus two width of the post.

5. If the second story has a floor overhang wherein the girder has to carry the floor joist, the length of the girder is equal to the span plus the overhang.
