Notes to Table A-8:

⁽¹⁾ Beam spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load on the floors does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾ When the floors have a concrete topping of not more than 51 mm, the spans must be multiplied by 0.8.

⁽³⁾ Supported length means half the sum of the joists spans on both sides of the beam.

⁽⁴⁾ Straight interpolation may be used for other supported lengths.

⁽⁵⁾ Spans are clear spans between supports. For total span, add two bearing lengths.

⁽⁶⁾ 3-ply beams with supported lengths greater than 4.2 m require minimum bearing length of 114 mm. All other beams require minimum bearing length of 76 mm.

⁽²⁾ When the floors have a concrete topping of not more than 51 mm, the spans must be multiplied by 0.8.

⁽³⁾ Supported length means half the sum of the joists spans on both sides of the beam.

⁽⁴⁾ Straight interpolation may be used for other supported lengths.

⁽⁵⁾ Spans are clear spans between supports. For total span, add two bearing lengths.

⁽⁶⁾ 3-ply beams require minimum bearing length of 114 mm. 4-ply and 5-ply beams with supported lengths greater than 3 m require minimum bearing length of 114 mm. All other beams require minimum bearing length of 76 mm.

Notes to Table A-12:

⁽¹⁾ Beam and lintel spans are calculated based on a maximum supported length of 4.9 m. Spans may be increased by 5% for supported lengths of not more than 4.3 m, by 10% for supported lengths of not more than 3.7 m, and by 25% for supported lengths of not more than 2.4 m.

⁽²⁾ For ridge beams, supported length means half the sum of the rafter, joist or truss spans on both sides of the beam. For lintels, supported length means half the sum of truss, roof joist or rafter spans supported by the lintel plus the length of the overhang beyond the lintel.

⁽³⁾ Provide a minimum bearing length of 76 mm.

Notes to Table A-13:

⁽¹⁾ Where structural sheathing is used, lintel spans may be increased by 15%. Structural sheathing consists of a minimum 9.5 mm thick structural panel conforming to CSA O121, CSA O151, CSA O325 or CSA O437.0 fastened with at least two rows of fasteners to the exterior face of the lintel, and a single row to the top plates and studs. Fasteners shall conform to Table 9.23.3.5.

⁽²⁾ A single piece of 89 mm thick lumber may be used in lieu of 2 pieces of 38 mm thick lumber on edge.

⁽³⁾ If floor joists span the full width of the buildingwithout support, lintel spans shall be reduced by 15% for "Roof, ceiling and 1 storey", by 20% for "Roof, ceiling and 2 storeys", and by 25% for "Roof, ceiling and 3 storeys".

⁽⁴⁾ For ends of lintels fully supported by walls, provide minimum bearing length of 38 mm for lintel spans up to 3 m, or minimum bearing length of 76 mm for lintel spans greater than 3 m.

⁽⁵⁾ Spans for 0.6 m tributary width are calculated for lintels in end walls that support only a 0.6 m width of roof and ceiling, but do not support roof joists, roof rafters or roof trusses.

⁽⁶⁾ Lintel spans are calculated based on a maximum floor joist, roof joist or rafter span of 4.9 m and a maximum roof truss span of 9.8 m. Lintel spans may be increased by 5% if rafter and joist spans are not more than 4.3 m and roof truss spans are not more than 8.6 m. Spans may be increased by 10% if rafter and joist spans are not more than 3.7 m and roof trusses are not more than 7.4 m.

⁽⁷⁾ Spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3., or the uniformly distributed live load does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table 4.1.5.3.

⁽²⁾ Provide a minimum bearing length of 89 mm. (Alternatively, the bearing length may be calculated in accordance with Part 4.)

⁽³⁾ Top edge of lintel assumed to be fully laterally supported.

⁽⁴⁾ Supported Length means half the length of trusses or rafters, plus the length of overhang beyond the wall.

⁽⁵⁾ For intermediate supported lengths, straight interpolation may be used.
