In the case of a one-way joist floor system, the joists span in one direction and the beams span in the other (perpendicular) direction. If the two spans are unequal, in which direction (shorter or longer) should the beams span and why?
What will be an ideal response?
If the spans are unequal, the beams should preferably span in the shorter direction because the beams support the loads from the joists, giving a smaller beam size.
