External Wall Bearing MultiStrut
Type 1: Walls parallel to MultiStrut joist
MultiStrut Joists may be used to distribute load from an upper-storeyloadbearing wall to a loadbearing lower-storey wall provided the followingconditions are met:
The lower-storey wall frame provides continuous support to theMultiStrut Joist. MultiStrut joist must be placed in line with bothwalls.Studs, wall plates and lintels have been sized in accordance withthe relevant Tables from AS1684.The roof load width (RLW) supported must not exceed that given inTable 7.1 (Refer to Section 2.6.4 of AS1684 Residential timberframed construction for definition of roof load width RLW.Where the roof load width exceeds the spans itemised in Table 7.1then use one of the following options:

Figure E4-01-02-01 MultiStrut Joist to Support Roof Load
Option 1A - Ladder Truss
A ladder truss is a MultiStrut nogged out at up to 600 centres. This forms a dwarf wall with verticals designed as wall studs and chords designed as ribbon plates inAS1684.
Most of the MultiStrut webs can be eliminated if convenient, and the studs spread to conventional stud spacing. Only the MultiStrut webs required to prevent racking ofthe dwarf wall need to be included.

Option 2 - Solid Timber
A solid timber bearer or Multi-Lam Beam to match the MultiStrut Joist depth.This beam is to be designed by others.

Type 2: Single-storey construction
For the support of external loadbearing walls for Single-Storey Construction there are a number of options available:
Use a 45mm wall plate on continuous internal brickwork, ORUse a Bearer taken from AS 1684, ORUse a Multi-Lam Beam.

Perimeter band beam
The bottom plate of the upper floor wall can be stiffened by the use of aperimeter band beam. This replaces the need for multiple bottom plates. Thesize of the perpendicular band beam is determined by the RLW and spacing ofthe trusses. See Table 7.2.

Note:
Maximum Roof Load Width (RLW) values above are calculated based on joists spacing @ 450mm centers and under wind classification of N2 only.
No supporting structure directly under load bearing wall.
Multistrut Joist are not normally designed to support load bearing walls or conventrated loads other than floor loads.
Multinail engineers and floor design software can run the design of the MultiStrut joist with the above mentioned additional loads but can not ensure that all spans andloads will achieve a design result in a MultiStrut Joist (solid joists/beams may still be required to support the loads).
