Project Summary:

Location: California

Project Type: 2-story wood frame single family residence

Total Area: 1,480 sq.ft.

 

Structural Systems:

  • Gravity System: The floors and roof are supported by a combination of TJIs (Trus Joist I-Joists) and 2x joists, providing a balance of strength, spanning capability, and ease of installation.
  • Lateral System: The building’s resistance to lateral loads (wind and seismic) is provided by sheathed wood stud walls.
  • Foundation System: The house is built on a slab-on-grade foundation with concrete walls providing additional support and a combination of continuous and isolated footings to distribute the building’s weight.

 

This structural system is common in California residential construction, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for a 2-story wood-frame home. The use of TJIs and 2x joists allows for flexibility in design and open floor plans, while the sheathed wood stud walls and concrete foundation provide the necessary strength and stability to withstand seismic activity, which is a significant consideration in California.
