An add load is a concentrated load applied at any one panel point along the length of the joist.
Floor joist single point load.
In the example the joists have a spacing of 16 inches and a span of 11 feet 2 inches.
Live load is weight of furniture wind snow and more.
The extra two inches of vertical distance when a floor is framed with 2 x 10 joists rather than 2 x 12s can be quite important for example.
2 grade of douglas fir are indicated below.
A floor joist appropriately selected to span 10 feet with an l 360 limit will deflect no more than 120 360 1 3 inches under maximum design loads.
But larger is not always better when builders are constructing a home or adding a room addition.
Maximum floor joist span for no.

In this case your joists are adequate to support a 30 psf live load and 10 psf dead load.

Drywall attached to the underside of this system is not expected to crack when the floor joist system deflects 1 3.

When a bend check load is specified the local bending.
The span table for a 30 psf live load 10psf dead load floor indicates a required fb value of 1 315 and a minimum e value of 1 800 000.
