Floor joist or ceiling joist? Floor joist have a board on the end all the way along the side of the building called a rim joist. Like the cross bar on the top of a T.
Ceiling joist are nailed down into the top plate of the wall and to the rafters where possible.
The top of the cross bridging is nailed to the top of the floor joist before the subfloor is installed. The bottom of the bridging is nailed in place after the subfloor is installed.
Two boards nailed together for strength. Over a door or window opening, two 2x12 with a piece of 1/2 inch plywood in between for a header.
These are used to secure the ends of ceiling joist etc. used to form hatches /stairwells.
Not knowing if the joist are in need of repair from rot (deterioration) or broken/damaged then replace ment of joist may be necessary. First get a replacement joist of the same or better species and treatment content and dimensions as the existing joist. Then cut the joist to the same length. You may have to cut a small angle on the bottom end of the joist to aid in working it over and between the girts and decking boards. Work the joist within a few inches of the joist to be replaced. Use a short 4x4 to drive the joist or a wood block to strike with a hammer. Take a couple of scrap 2x's and temporarily fasten to the girts and new joist to prevent movement. Then you may try a couple methods to remove the old joist. If the decking is fastened with screws then simply backout the screws. If it is nailed, then a 10 lbs. hammer can often remove most anything you need and is a great stress reliever but I recomend you use a reciprocating saw to cut the fasteners between the joist and decking. Usually the vibration of the saw and nails being cut will loosen the deck side of the fasteners and allow you to go top side and pull the old nail halves out. Once the old joist and fasteners are out you can carefully work the new joist in place. I recommend fastening the old decking to the new joist with properly coated screws or a hotdipped galvanized rink shank nail. Repeat joist replacement as necessary on other joist.
A joist is a beam, a supporting structure in a building. The roof joist was riddled with dry rot and had to be replaced.
it depen on the size of the joist
A 20 delta size nail should be used to attach the band joist to a joist when end nailing. A 16 D can also be used.
A joist can be a board as small as a 2 x 6 on up to a 2 x 12. A "beam" can be as simple as two joists nailed together. Beams will change depending on the load required of it. Some beams will require three 2 x 12s, glued and screwed or extreme loads or spans will call for engineered wood beams or even steel "I" beams with pipe columns.
There are several ways, but probably the easiest way would be to temporarily buck under the afflicted ceiling joist with a 2x6 temporarily, until the joist is in line with the others. Then go into the attic and cut and attach a 2x6 to the joist and vertically to the roof ridge. Remove the buck. The joist should stay in place.
A joist note on a first floor plan would refer to the Joist below that floor, a joist note on the third floor plan woud be for that floor.
