I am designing a 4 story building and using TJI joists. When stiffening the joists or providing backers for the webs of the TJI's is it typical for blocking to be special ordered to match the specific size of the space or for the blocking to be 2x and stick out from the sides of the TJI edges...
I am renovating a couple balconies because the existing 2x10 joist from ext to int are decaying. I plan to sister a joist in and am having a difficult time determining how to connect the joist effectively. I can't connect the joist directly to the decaying joist because I cant assume the "bad"...
