Sistered Floor Joists

[Frank J. Carey]

Rich, I would say that engineering is at a minimum here...

This does not need engineering. Any good builder can use the presriptive methods in the code to install a beam under the spliced joists. Problem solved.

Look at the bottom edges of the joists that are spliced. They are not parallel. Looks like this has already deflected a fair amount.
