I-Joist Bears on Hanger – Balloon-Framed

Joist bears on proprietary hanger. Hanger is connected to ledger or wall panel as required by supplier. Where no ledger is provided, blocking occurs between joists as required for in-plane load transfer.

Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from joist to mass timber wall panel.

Design Notes

  • Capacity of primary load path is defined by the manufacturer.
  • Diaphragm connections not shown in detail. Diaphragm and connections to be sized by the designer.
  • With balloon framing, multi-story walls can be erected rapidly; however, constructability can be affected by the need for temporary bracing of walls.
  • Elevation control of hanger or ledger is critical.
