What is the most common method to strengthen joists during construction?

  1. Adding more insulation between joists

  2. Add thicker sub-flooring

  3. Install stronger floorboards

  4. Increase depth of joists

  5. Increase span of joists

  6. Use fibre-reinforced joists

The correct answer is: Increase depth of joists

The most common method to strengthen joists during construction is by increasing the depth of the joists. By increasing the depth of the joists, it effectively increases their load-bearing capacity and reduces the amount of deflection or bounce in the floor. This method is a cost-effective way to strengthen the structural integrity of the floor system. Additionally, adding more insulation between joists, adding thicker sub-flooring, installing stronger floorboards, increasing the span of joists, and using fibre-reinforced joists do not specifically address the need to strengthen the actual joists themselves.
