    The document discusses different types of open web steel joists, joist girders, and bridging used in steel structures.

    The different types of steel joists discussed are K-series, LH-series, and DLH-series joists.

    Joist girders are designed to carry the regularly spaced, concentrated loads consisting of the end supports of joists.

    Girders

    1.4 DESIGN

    In the absence of ordinances or specifications to the


    contrary, all designs prepared by the specifying
    professional shall be in accordance with the applicable
    Steel Joist Institute Specifications and Load Table of latest
    adoption.

    1.5 RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESIGN AND ERECTION

    When material requirements are specified, the seller shall


    assume no responsibility other than to furnish the items
    listed in Section 5.2 (a). When Material requirements are
    not specified, the Seller shall furnish the items listed in
    Section 5.2(a) in accordance with applicable Steel Joist
    Institute Specifications of latest adoption, and this code.
    The Seller shall identify material by showing size and
    type. In no case shall the Seller assume any responsibility
    for the erection of the item furnished.

    Example of a Typical Floor


    Plan

    Each joist
    supports an area
    equal to its span
    times half the
    distance to the
    joist on either
    side.
    The joists
    transfer their
    loads to the
    supporting truss
    girders.

    Roof deck transfers


    load to supporting
    joists.

    Open Web Steel Joists

    Steel joists are prefabricated lightweight


    trusses that are available in different series:

    K series- 8 through 30 in 2 increment with 64


    designations; clear spans to 60 (short span)
    (KCS series for special loading conditions)
    LH series 18 through 48; clear spans to 96
    (long-span)
    DLH series 52 through 72; clear spans to 144
    (deep long-span)

    For Composite Steel Joists, see David

    L/360.

    Metal Decking

    Metal decking is used for floor and roof


    applications.
    Determine type of decking, thickness, gage
    of metal, finish required, and method of
    attachment

    Quantity takeoff

    Determine the LF of each different type of


    joist, use manufacturers table to find the
    weight per ft and total weight.
    Note type and number of accessories:

    bridging (diagonal or horizontal)


    end anchorage (beam or wall)
