3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

[twinnell]

Does anyone know where I can find span tables for 3 1/2" thick tongue and groove floor deck (plank). Maybe a website for a manufacturer. I have googled it and have not had any luck. This is a commercial application and trying to span 4 to 6 feet.

I used to use tables out of the AITC manual. Perhaps they have them on their website.

Is it 3.5'' wide??

Then how deep, what grade, what load??

Then go to NDS and you can get an answer

A quick calc shows that 3.5'' wide and 1'' thick might span 4' at 50 psf total load (not a typical commercial load) - possibly a bit bouncy

It's 3.5" thick. It has double tongues and gooves. It is used for plank and beam framing and in heavy timber structures. I know I can calculate it from the NDS, I just wanted some manufacture tables or AITC span tables.

It is all depend on how you lay it out (random, simple span, 2 spands continous etc.) Check out this manuf. website. Good luck!
