OPEN WEB, LONGSPAN, AND DEEP LONGSPAN STEEL JOISTS, AND JOIST GIRDERS HISTORY
Formed five years after the first open web steel joist was manufactured, the Institute has worked since 1928 to maintain sound engineering practice throughout our industry. As a non-profit organization of active manufacturers, the Institute cooperates with governmental and business agencies to establish steel joist standards. Continuing research and updating are included in its work. The first joist in 1923 was a Warren truss type, with top and bottom chords of round bars and a web formed from a single continuous bent bar. Various other types were developed, but problems also followed because each manufacturer had his own design and fabrication standards. Architects, engineers and builders found it difficult to compare rated capacities and to use fully the economies of steel joist construction. Members of the industry began to organize the Institute, and in 1928 the first standard specifications were adopted, followed in 1929 by the first load table. The joists covered by these early standards were later identified as open web steel joists, SJ-Series. Other landmark adoptions by the Institute include the following: 1953 Introduction of Longspan Steel Joists, L-Series. Specifications and a standard load table, covering spans through 96 feet and depths through 48 inches, were jointly approved with the American Institute of Steel Construction. 1959 Introduction of the S-Series Joists, which replaced the SJ- Series Joists. The allowable tensile stress was increased from 18,000 to 20,000 psi, joist depths were expanded through 24 inches, and spans increased through 48 feet. 1961 (a) Introduction of the J-Series Joists, which replaced the S-Series Joists. The allowable tensile stress was increased from 20,000 psi to 22,000 psi, based on the use of steel with a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi. (b) Introduction of the LA-Series Joists, which replaced the L-Series Joists. The LA-Series Joists allowed a tensile stress of either 20,000 psi or 22,000 psi, depending on the yield strength of the steel. (c) Introduction of the H-Series Joists, whose design was based on steel with a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi, and an allowable tensile stress of 30,000 psi. 1962 Introduction of the LH-Series Joists, utilizing steel whose minimum yield strength was between 36,000 psi and 50,000 psi. 1965 Development of a single specification for both the J- and H- Series Joists by the Steel Joist Institute and the American Institute of Steel Construction. 1966 Development and introduction by the SJI and AISC of the LJ- Series Joists, which replaced the LA-Series Joists. Also, the development of a single specification for both the LJ- and the LH-Series Joists, with the use of 36,000 psi minimum yield strength steel for the LJ-Series, and 36,000 psi to 50,000 psi minimum yield strength steel for the LH-Series. 1970 Introduction of the DLJ- and DLH-Series Joists to include depths through 72 inches and spans through 144 feet. 1971 Elimination of the number 2 chord sizes and the addition of joist designations 8J3 and 8H3 to the load tables. 1972 (a) Adoption by the SJI and AISC of a single specification for the LJ-, LH-, DLJ-, and DLH-Series Joists. (b) Adoption by the SJI and AISC of the expanded specifications and load tables for the Open Web Steel Joists which increased the depths through 30 inches, and the spans through 60 feet, plus adding chord sections 9, 10, & 11. 1978 (a) Elimination of the J-, LJ-, and DLJ-Series Joists because of the widespread acceptance of high strength steel joists. (b) Introduction of Joist Girders, complete with specifications and weight tables, in response to the growing need for longer span primary structural members with highly efficient use of steel. 1986 Introduction of the K-Series Joists, which replaced the H-Series Joists. The reasons for developing the K-Series Joists were (1) to achieve greater economies by utilizing the Load Span design concept; (2) To meet the demand for roofs with lighter loads at depths from 18 inches to 30 inches; (3) To offer joists whose load carrying capacities at frequently used spans are those most commonly required; (4) To eliminate the very heavy joists in medium depths for which there was little, if any, demand. 1994 (a) Introduced the KCS Joists to the K-Series in response to the need for a joist with a constant moment and constant shear. The KCS Joist is an alternative joist to be used in special loading conditions. (b) Addition of metric nomenclature for all Joist

OPEN WEB, LONGSPAN, AND DEEP LONGSPAN STEEL JOISTS, AND JOIST GIRDERS
and Joist Girder Series in compliance with government and industry standards. (c) Addition of revised stability criteria. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCT QUALITY The plant inspections are not a guaranty of the quality of any specific joists or Joist Girders; this responsibility lies fully and solely with the individual manufacturer. SERVICES TO NONMEMBERS The Institutes facilities for checking the design of K-, LH-, and DLH-Series Joists or Joist Girders are available on a cost basis. The Steel Joist Institute does not check joist designs for specific construction projects. Fabrication to Institute Specifications is the responsibility of the individual manufacturer.

POLICY
The manufacturers of any standard SJI Products shall be required to submit design data for verification of compliance with Steel Joist Institute Specifications, undergo physical design verification tests (on K-Series only), and undergo periodic in-plant inspections for all products on which they wish to become certified. SJI Member Companies complying with the above conditions shall be licensed to publish the appropriate copy-righted SJI Specifications and Load Tables.

MEMBERSHIP
Open to manufacturers who produce, on a continuing basis, joists of the K-, LH/DLH-Series, and/or Joist Girders, conforming to the Institutes Specifications and Load Tables. Membership requirements differ as described below. APPLICANTS BASED ON K-SERIES JOISTS The Institutes Consulting Engineer checks to see that designs conform to the Institutes Specifications and Load Tables. This comprises an examination of: (1) Complete engineering design details and calculations of all K-Series joists, bridging and accessories for which standards have been adopted; (2) Data obtained from physical tests of a limited number of joists, conducted by an independent laboratory, to verify conclusions from analysis of the applicants engineering design details and calculations. An initial plant inspection and subsequent periodic inspections are required to ensure that the applicant/member possesses the facilities, equipment and personnel required to fabricate properly the K-Series Joists. Joist manufacturers who have previously obtained certification on their H-Series Joists are required to obtain certification on their K-Series design data. Physical tests are required only if substantive changes are made in either joist configuration or member shapes. APPLICANTS BASED ON LH- OR DLH-SERIES JOISTS OR JOIST GIRDERS Designs are checked by the Consulting Engineer. Periodic in-plant inspections (but no physical tests) are required.

LOAD AND RESISTANCE FACTOR DESIGN

The following method may be used to convert the Steel Joist Institutes Specifications for use in Load and Resistance Factor Design ( LRFD )
Method: WU = 1.65 Wsji, or Wsji = WU /1.65

Where, WU = ultimate joist capacity Wsji = SJI Load Table Load (black figure) Load tables for LRFD can be obtained directly from the current SJI Load Tables by using the formula: Wn = Wsji x 0.9 x 1.65 Where, Wn = nominal joist capacity 0.9 = Resistance Factor ( ) K Series Example: Given: WU = 1.2 WD + 1.6 WL Problem: Select a joist from the current load tables for Wsji Wu/1.65( ) L = 40 ft. WD = 50 plf WL = 150 plf Use Roof Live load deflection L/240 WU = 1.2 x 50 + 1.6 x 150 = 300 plf Wsji 300/(1.65 x 0.9) = 202 plf Select 22K6: Wsji @ 40 ft. span = 207 plf > 202 plf. OK Deflection Live Load L/240 WsjiLL = 1.5 x 111 = 166 plf > 150 plf OK The above procedure outlines the specification of a K Series Joist to support a uniform gravity load utilizing LRFD. When loads other than uniform gravity loads (such as wind uplift loads, concentrated loads, end moments or non-uniform loads) are a design consideration, the Specifying Professional shall clearly indicate on the structural drawings whether these loads are factored or unfactored. To remain consistent with established LRFD design procedures it is recommended that factored loads be specified. The above procedure is also applicable to the LH/DLH Series Joists and Joist Girders.

FIRE-RESISTANCE RATINGS WITH STEEL JOISTS

Hundreds of fire tests on steel joist-supported assemblies have been conducted at nationally recognized testing laboratories in accordance with ASTM Standard E119, ANSI A2.1/UL 263, and NFPA 251. Because of practical loading restrictions and limitations of furnace dimensions, the vast majority of these tests were run using lightweight joists - normally from 8 inches to 14 inches deep. This practice was advantageous in that it established the minimum acceptable joists at the shallow and lightweight end of the joist load tables. The specified minimum size joist as listed in Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) Fire Resistance Designs is the joist which combines the required minimum depth and minimum weight per foot. Joists, of the same series, which meet, or exceed the specified minimums may be used provided the accessories are compatible. The dimension from the bottom chord of joists to the ceiling, whether given or calculated, is a minimum. K-Series Joists, LH Series Joists and Joist Girders specified in floor- or roof-ceiling assemblies, shall be designed and manufactured in accordance with the Steel Joist Institutes Specifications adopted November 4, 1985 revised November 12, 1991. Many of U.L.s Fire Rated Assemblies now specifically list K-Series Joists. When a K-Series Joist is specified in a particular U.L. assembly the K-Series Joist shall have its design stress limited only if the assembly specifically limits the design stress of the K-Series Joist. K-Series Joists may be substituted for S-, J-, and/or HSeries Joists specified in U.L. floor-, or roof-ceiling designs as follows: Floor-Ceiling Assemblies: K-Series Steel Joists of equal or greater depth and weight per foot may be substituted for any S-, J-, and/or H-Series Joist in any floor-ceiling design, which employs a structural concrete floor and suspended membrane ceiling. Roof-Ceiling Assemblies: K-Series Steel Joists of equal or greater depth and weight per foot may be substituted for any S-, J-, and/or H-Series Joists in any roof-ceiling design with the following restrictions: a) Minimum Nominal Depth = 10 inches (254mm) b) Maximum Tensile Stress = 26 KSI (179 MPa) Any stress limitation specified in a U.L. floor or roof fire rated assembly containing S, J and/or H Series Joists shall remain applicable when a K-Series Joist is substituted. Also, certain U.L. assembly designs contain restrictions regarding minimum allowable joist member sizes, areas of steel, and/or bridging material sizes. These restrictions remain applicable when a K-Series Joist is substituted and it is the responsibility of the specifying professional to list all such restrictions on the contract drawings. The following procedure may be used to substitute the proper K-Series Joist for any S-, J-, and/or H-Series Joist listed in a U.L. design assembly. 1. Determine the uniform load per foot the joist is required to support. 2. Select a design from the U.L. Fire Resistance Directory that matches the building construction and has the required fire rating. 3. a) Floor Assemblies: Adjust the design load per foot calculated in step #1 for any required reduction in stress level by multiplying the load by a factor of 30 ksi (207 MPa) divided by the specified stress level, i.e. [30/24 (207/165), 30/22 (207/152). etc.]. b) Roof Assemblies: Adjust the design load per foot calculated in step #1 by multiplying by the factor of 30/26 (207/179), or a greater factor if the particular assembly design requires a lessor stress level. 4. Enter the K-Series Economy Table and select the proper joist for the calculated load requirement. 5. Insure that the K-Series Joist selected has a depth and load table weight per foot equal to, or greater than, the S-, J- and/or H-Series joist listed in the U.L. Design. Joists used in roof assemblies must have a minimum depth of 10 inches (254mm). So that the proper K-Series Joist can be selected for U.L. Designs not presently containing a K-Series designation the weights of various S-, J-, and H-Series Joists used in the U.L. Fire Resistance Designs are listed below:

NOTES: 1. The UNDERWRITERS LABORATORY FIRE RESISTANCE DIRECTORY lists hundreds of assemblies and their fire ratings. As a convenience a selected number of assemblies are listed on 3 preceding pages. This listing is intended as a guide only and the specifying professional must refer to the U.L. Directory for complete design information. 2. The maximum joist spacing shown for FloorCeiling Assemblies may be increased from the spacing listed in the U.L. Directory to a maximum of 48 inches on center, provided the floor slab meets the structural requirements and the spacing of hanger wires supporting the ceiling is not increased. 3. Some U.L. Design Assemblies stipulate minimum size materials for Steel Joist and Joist Girder components, and/or bridging. It is the responsibility of the specifying professional to show all special requirements on the Structural Drawings. 4. Some U.L. Fire Assembly Designs stipulate an allowable maximum joist design stress level less than the 30 ksi (207MPa) used in the K-Series Joist Specifications. It is the responsibility of the specifying professional to apply the proper stress level reductions (if required) when selecting Joists and/or Joist Girders. To adjust the stress level of K-Series Joists or Joist Girders multiply the design load by the required factor [30/26 (207/179), 30/24 (207/165), 30/22 (207/1520)], and then using this increased load select a Joist or Joist Girder from the load and/or weight tables. 5. Some U.L. Roof-Ceiling Design assemblies using direct applied protection limit the spacing of the joists for certain types and gages of metal decking refer to the U.L. Directory for this information.
