RECOMMENDED CODE OF STANDARD PRACTICE FOR STEEL JOISTS AND JOIST GIRDERS<br />

ESTIMATING JOIST SIZE FOR SPECIAL LOADINGS<br />

EXAMPLE: U.S. CUSTOMARY UNITS<br />

The specifying professional shall compare the equivalent<br />

uniform loads W e1 & W e2 to the uniform loads tabulated<br />

in the K-Series Load Table. Loads in excess of the load<br />

table loads indicate that the specifying professional shall<br />

consider using additional joists to reduce the loading or<br />

use the LH-Series <strong>Joist</strong> and make provisions for 5 deep<br />

bearing seats.<br />

<strong>Joist</strong> Supplier to design joist to support loads as shown<br />

above.<br />

R L = 5000 lbs.<br />

R R = 5340 lbs.<br />

Point of Max. Mom. = Point of Zero Shear(V) = L 1<br />

(dist. from rt. end of Jst)<br />

V = Zero = 5340 - (300+500+800) - (180+90)(L 1 )<br />

L 1 = 13.85 ft.<br />

M @ L 1 = 5340(13.85) - 300(10.85) -<br />

Using W e1 = 356 LB/ft. @ SPAN = 30',<br />

and D = 18"<br />

Select 18K9 for total load (402) and live load (229) and call<br />

it: 18K9SP<br />
