Calculate 2x12 Joist Capacity
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a clear, engineer-level calculation of how much load my existing floor system can safely carry. The joists are wooden 2 × 12 members installed 12 inches on-center. Once we start, I’ll share the span length, wood species, and any other field data you request.
What I’m expecting from you:
• A concise calculation package showing allowable dead load, live load, and combined capacity, including deflection limits
• All assumptions (material grade, code references, safety factors) stated in the report
• Any quick recommendations if the joists fall short of typical residential loads
A stamped letter isn’t essential, but note in your bid if you can provide one for my state. Please keep the analysis easy to follow—PDF or spreadsheet is fine as long as I can trace the numbers.
