By: Drexel Hermann- Drexel.hermann@wy.com; Trus Joist Weyerhaeuser
If you've struggled with picking the right floor system for a discriminating buyer, this course is for you. Recognize that typical span charts and conventional static deflection criteria don't always prevent performance issues. We will discuss common floor system issues. We will also explore field problems and possible solutions.
Learning Objectives:
1. Compare the methods of Traditional (static) vs. Performance (dynamic) floor design and how each affects floor performance.
2. Recognize the Key Factors of floor performance and demonstrate how floor performance can be improved.
3. Examine other causes that may contribute to floor performance concerns.
4. Explore some of the field problems and discuss possible solutions to address differential deflection.
