I want to do a small (1 foot) cantilever overhang with a 22 foot 560 I joist. My question is whether any reinforcing or other considerations for the anchor points of the I joists are suggested? I will be placing a single story outside wall on the cantilever.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

see page 10 and 11.
It all derives from the design loads and your details.
Your supplier or engineer may be able to provide advice as well.
Super helpful! Thanks so much. Looks like my short cantilever will be well within the 560's design. I'll be sure to double check when ordering my 22 foot Joists for my 20 foot span.
