The uniform floor load is 120 lb/ft", which includes an allowance for the weight of the floor system itself. Calculate the required section modulus S for the joists, and then select a suitable joist size (surfaced lumber) from Appendix G, assuming that each joist may be represented as a simple beam carrying a uniform load.
