Presented by: Michael A. West, P.E., F.ASCE

David Samuelson, P.E.

Learning Objectives •  Identify Codes and Standards providing requirements and guidance for

selecting joists and Joist Girders for steel joist supported floor systems.

•  Review of where standard joists, constant shear joists (KCS joists), “Special Joists” for supporting non-uniform and concentrated loads, or CJ-Series Composite Joists may be advantageous.

•  Discuss SJI publications that are available to assist the Structural Engineer to design steel joist floor systems for serviceability, for selecting appropriate UL fire resistance ratings, and for adapting joists for future building uses.

2

Learning Objectives •  Demonstrate SJI’s future Floor Bay Analysis tool showing how this tool can

optimize the layout and select optimal depths for non-composite K-Series, LH-Series, and DLH–Series joists and Joist Girders as well as CJ-Series composite joists.

•  Learn how the recent incorporation of SJI’s Virtual Joist Girder tables within RAM Structural System, RISA, and SCIA Engineer facilitates the selection of Joist Girders within lateral load resisting frames.

•  Learn how SJI’s new Virtual Joist tables can yield a reasonable approximate joist effective moment of inertia and weight for joists with non-uniform loading, concentrated loads of varying magnitude, and / or externally applied local moments.

“Standard” SJI joists only managed as simple-span infill joists supporting vertical gravity loads.

59

SJI’s Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder Load Tables

Standard programs such as RAM Structural System, RISAFLOOR, SCIA, etc. do an excellent job of selecting “Standard” SJI joists.

Quote from STAAD-PRO Technical Reference Manual

What are Virtual Joist / Virtual Joist Girder Tables

64

Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders are a set of pseudo section properties based on commonly available joist chord pairs. The major axis moment of inertia (Ixx) is based directly on a pair of double angle joist chords and pre-adjusted for approximate deflection contribution from web strain. Allows joists and Joist Girders to be checked for flexure, shear, axial, and combined forces by treating them as doubly symmetric I –shaped beam sections. Can be inserted into stiffness based structural analysis programs such as RAM, RISAFLOOR, SCIA, etc.

What are Virtual Joist / Virtual Joist Girder Tables

65

Virtual joist and Virtual Joist Girder tables allow joist member stiffness to be accounted for in the overall building model. Once the building model is completed, standard SJI joist and Joist Girder designations are called out on the plans.

It is important to specify all joists and Joist Girders using conventional SJI designation nomenclature.

Conclusions SJI’s Virtual Joists permit the determination of joist weight and effective Ixx for complex load cases. Recent incorporation of SJI’s Virtual Joist Girder Tables within RAM Structural System, RISAFLOOR, and SCIA Engineer allows one to readily determine Joist Girder weights and effective moments of inertia in a lateral load resisting frame. Utilizing SJI’s Virtual Joist / Virtual Joist Girder Tables, one can now determine the estimated weight and cost for complex loaded “Special” joists and non-symmetrically loaded Joist Girders.

85

Conclusions

SJI’s Floor Bay Analysis Tool facilitates the calculation of estimated total floor costs for K, LH, DLH and CJ-Series composite joists. Current codes, specifications, design guides, and design tools make the design of joists and Joist Girders more efficient than ever before.
