CODE OF PRACTICE FOR STRUCTURAL USE OF TIMBER : PART 11 : RECOMMENDED SPAN TABLES AND THEIR CALCULATIONS : SECTION 2 : CEILING JOISTS
This Section of MS 544 : Part 11 recommends a calculation basis for permissible clear span

timber given in MS 544 : Part 2 for both single and continuous span ceiling joists as shown in
