Deck Joist Span Chart - Fine Homebuilding
Until a few years ago, the IRC didn’t have deck joist span tables.

Joist Span Table/ Sistering joists - Fine Homebuilding
2002年5月31日 · But there are no span tables for that, because that's not what happens in the real world. Sistering two new 2x10's produces a beam 3" wide, while a new 4x10 is actually 3 1/2" wide.

For example, the load on a beam from a 10-ft. joist span with a 2-ft. 6-in. cantilever is the same load as a 15-ft. joist span with no cantilever.
