Load (UDL) on the beam includes the sum of the beam self weight, the deck Live load (ULL) and a uniform total load (UTL). Steel products are designed to resist a uniform dead load (UDL), a uniform This load can be exceeded ifĪ more relaxed deflection criteria (such as L/240) is specified in the The L/360 load (red number), on the other hand, is used to obtain the
Number) is used directly by the program and cannot be adjusted. Tables list a maximum allowable uniform load and a uniform load that will This also includes the short span K2.5 series Joists. Span tables for K, LH, DLH, and SLH Steel Spreadsheet by clicking in the Shape field and then clickingĪllowable loads for Steel Joists are based on the standard load and The various Steel Product databases may be accessed from the Beams The Model Settings - Codes tab, select the steel joist code from the drop down The Steel Joist Institute (SJI) Edition from which the values are determined are selected based on the Code specified in the Model Settings. There are options for Steel Joist Databases which have different capacity values. The steel products are automatically optimized based on minimum weightĪnd based on the criteria specified in the Design Rules spreadsheet. Steel Product design can be performed on standard steel joists.
