Factors that affect the size of ceiling joists?
The size of ceiling joists is primarily influenced by the span they need to cover and the load they must support. Other factors include the type of wood used for the joists, the spacing between joists, and any additional load considerations like heavy fixtures or storage. Local building codes and regulations also play a role in determining the size of ceiling joists.

Why is your ceiling bowing?
Could be a couple of different reasons.... Your ceiling joists could be longer than the recommended span for the size of the joist [ie: 2x6 or 2x8], and over time the weight of the ceiling material and whatever is directly above them may be bowing the ceiling down.... or In older homes with plaster ceilings with wood lath instead of gypsum sheet panels [sheetrock], the plaster sometimes breaks free from the wood lath and sags. This especially happens when there has been a water leak above the ceiling at some point......

Why does upstairs shake when walking?
If your house is wood framed with wood joists, the shaking may be caused by floor joists being too small. This will cause the floor to sink whenever a person walks across the room. Floor joists should be size by an experienced carpenter, architect, or engineer to prevent movement.Another cause of floor movement may be insufficient bracing between the floor joists. This will cause sagging and twisting of the joists.There are several solutions that require the skills carpenter. New joists can be added beside the existing joists to strengthen the floor. Another option is to add one or more beams and columns in the room below the floor. Or blocking can be added between existing joists to add support.
