Q

do you need to double joist an internal non load bearing stud wall?


The height of wall is 2.5m, length 2.6m built with 10cm by 5cm timber and plaster board
It runs parrellel to the floor joists, resting just to the left of one joist.

the floor joists are 20cm depth/ 6.5cm width and the gap between the joists is 26cm

I am on the first floor with only a london roof above me which is low and is not used.

So the 2 answers below r confusing :) building control said i must double joist or provide the evidence that it is not required. What is the equation to proove this please?
