I have seen a number of solutions for the Sajjad Alternate on this forum showing additional beams crossing the Yoga studio from west to east (not in the wall) with joists running north/south in order to avoid spanning the joists more than 30'. However, it seems more economical to go ahead and span the joists west/east to avoid adding beams even though the joists will be about 33'. Anyone know what NCARB prefers?
