How is the strengthening of joists most commonly achieved during construction?

  1. Adding more insulation between the joists

  2. Adding a thicker sub-floor

  3. Increasing the depth of the joists

  4. Extending the span of the joists

The correct answer is: Increasing the depth of the joists

Increasing the depth of the joists is the most common way to strengthen them during construction. By increasing the depth of the joists, their load-bearing capacity is enhanced, allowing them to support heavier loads without the risk of structural failure. This method is more effective than simply adding more insulation between the joists or extending the span of the joists, as it directly addresses the structural integrity of the floor system. Adding a thicker sub-floor may help in some cases, but it is not as effective as increasing the depth of the joists in terms of overall strength and load-bearing capacity.
