摘要

The structural wooden joist described comprises a lower chord, an upper chord, a plurality of connector members spaced along the joists and extending between the upper and lower chords, a plurality of plates attaching the connector members to the lower and upper chords and a laminated panel structure mounted at each end section of the joist. Each panel structure extends from an opposite end of the upper/lower chords to adjacent a first of the plurality of attachment plates and defines an uninterrupted surface which is formed of a series of elongated vertical planks secured edgewise to one another whereby the joist has opposite ends which are trimmable to provide one of reduced width.
