What this detail covers
- A typical connection where top-chord bearing joists meet a timber ring beam.
- Blocking and bearing zones to support the deck and control movement.
Key steps
- Confirm joist type and bearing requirement from the engineered floor design.
- Install blocking/ring beam components as shown.
- Fix joists and deck to the specified schedule.
Checks
- Joists have full bearing and are fixed as specified.
- Deck line is level and supported.
Common mistakes
- Treating this like a generic joist connection and missing specified blocking.
- Fixings omitted or substituted without approval.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
