A truss-type floor joist formed of vertically aligned parallel chords connected together between their ends by alternating diagonal web members and at their ends by a pair of vertical end members arranged in face-to-face contact, with the chords, web members and end members all formed of 2x4 wood strips arranged with their narrow edges vertical. Each chord has an inner liner member in the form of a 2x4 wood strip member arranged in face-to-face contact therewith and extending from each end of the chord to a point just past its first, adjacent set of diagonal web members. Each of the joints formed by abutting web members and end members with the chords are overlapped on both vertical faces with metal connector plates having struck-out teeth embedded in the respective overlapped wood members.
