Wood I-Members

This is a stack of wood I-Joists used to span long distances between supports in a wood frame structure. Wood I-Joists are typically made of solid wood flanges, the two fat outer parts top and bottom, and an OSB (oriented strand board) web, the skinny center part. I-Joists like this are advantages because they carry load more efficiently than a comparable solid wood member, are lighter than a comparable solid wood member, and can be ordered in spans that would be prohibitively expensive to for solid wood members. This job is using wood I-Joists to prop up form work for a large concrete job, and is thus going to make full use of the dozens of I-Joists bundled here.
