Question: how far can tji floor joists span?
Answer: Those maximum distances vary based on joist strength, depth, and on-center spacing. According to TJI's span table, switching to deeper 11-7/8 inch joists (a nominal 2x12), even when spaced at 19.2 inches on-center, enable you to go as long as 17 feet, 4 inches and still achieve L/480.
