SJI’s design tool helps the SER compare weights, costs, and floor depths for selected bay sizes and framing setups. It offers composite and non-composite designs for open web steel joists, wide flange beams, and girders, though only non-composite joist girders are currently available.

The Steel Joist Institute (SJI) has developed a table that provides the approximate section properties for Virtual Joists for use by the Structural Engineer of Record (SER) in preparing the building structural models.

Download the SJI standard specifications, load and weight tables, and the code of standard practice for K-Series, LH-Series, DLH Series open web steel joists and joist girders and CJ-Series composite steel joists. Additionally, view the current ANSI information.

These Virtual Joist sections are characterized as equivalent wide-flange beams which closely approximate the joist chord area, effective moment of inertia, and weight. Virtual Joists are also available in the RFEM and RSTAB cross-section database.

Aug 24, 2020 · In 2017, FM introduced the Very Severe Hail (VSH) approval, consisting of a 2-inch diameter ice ball shot out of a pressurized air cannon. The ice ball impacts the membrane and substrate at approximately 110 miles per hour, …

SJI COSP Section 6.1 (b) has been modified to be more definitive: The adequacy of the end anchorage connection (bolted or welded) between the joist or Joist Girder bearing seat and the supporting structure is the responsibility of the specifying profession.

Apr 11, 2018 · This presentation will outline potential advantages associated with SJI's CJ-Series composite joists. Computational aspects of composite steel joist behavior per SJI's new 2nd Edition Specifications will be shown.

The full text of the SJI rule reads as follows: “For nominal con-centrated loads between panel points, which have been account-ed for in the specified uniform design loads, a strut to transfer the load to a panel point on the opposite chord shall not be required, provided the sum of the concentrated loads within a chord panel
