STRUCTURAL TRACK
Structural track, usually in the same
gauge as the joist, is used as rim or
band enclosures.

18 gauge is standard as 33ksi yield strength. 16, 14, and 12 gauge are standard as 50ksi yield
strength.
Depth of TSB is measured to the inside of the flanges.
WEB STIFFENER
ClarkDietrich web stiffeners are
used to provide reinforcement of
joist webs to prevent crippling.
Web reinforcement is often
required by design to enhance
the load capacity of joists. When
installing between the joist flanges,
a web stiener must be installed by
sliding it in from the end of the joist.

DIAGONAL TENSION STRAPPING
Block and strap bridging helps
prevent joist rotation and lateral
movement. Solid blocking, a field-
cut track or joist section, is welded
or screw-attached between the first
and last two outer joist bays—at
a maximum of 8' o.c. along the
strap—over all interior supports
and adjacent to floor openings.
Two-inch-wide corrosion-resistant
strapping is also screw-attached or
welded to the bottom of every joist
flange. For sub-floor or decking
without lateral support, install strap
on the top flange of the joist.
