Wood joists will be used to support a floor deck. The joists will span 4 m. The joists will be repetitively spaced at 400-mm O.C. intervals. The deck will be designed to cany a total uniformly distributed service load of 3.5 kN/m2. Neglecting the weight of the structural members, draw a free-body diagram of the loading condition and compute the reactions of the joist.

(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the loading condition.


(b) Determine the tributary load of a single joist.


(c) Compute the joist reactions.
