The Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) has issued arevised set of steel erection regulations(29 CFR 1926.757 Open Web SteelJoists - effective date 1-18-02) whichimpact the manufacture and installa-tion of open web steel joists. Pleaserefer to the new OSHA Regulations(www.osha.gov) and the Steel JoistInstitute’s (SJI) OSHA “Position Paper”(www.steeljoist.org) for specific details.

Based upon industry sponsored re-search, the SJI has developed newrequirements for the use of erectionstability bridging. The new SJI specifi-

SJI Notice Regarding OSHAStandard finishes of NCJ joist prod-ucts are either unpainted or coatedwith gray primer. Note that the primeris applied by dipping and cannot beconsidered an architectural finish.Hence, there are “unavoidable” drips,runs and sags associated with thisapplication process. NCJ can supplyjoists with special coatings such ashot dipped galvanizing or epoxypaints. Special coatings add costsand fabrication time to the job.

Shop PrimerBottom bearing joist girders are inher-ently unstable during erection.Extreme care must be exercised whenerecting these types of products.Safety and stability of bottom bearingjoist girders is the responsibility of theerector and/or specifying professional.

Bottom Bearing Joist Girderscations require bolted diagonal bridg-ing to be installed for some K-Seriesand LH-Series joists before slackeningthe hoisting lines. The joist spans re-quiring this stability bridging are shadedin the load tables. It is very importantfor joist specifiers and erectors to knowthat OSHA regulations have changedwith regards to joist erection. Westrongly recommend that you reviewthe new 29 CFR Part §1926, Subpart R-Steel Erection. This document has beensummarized and commented upon byNCJ and SJI. Position papers from bothNCJ and SJI can be obtained on theweb sites of each organization.

Load CombinationsASCE 7 has revised load combinations and the use of an allowablestress increase. A 0.75 load reduction is to be used when two ormore loads, in addition to dead load, are being investigated. The twoor more loads are to be multiplied by 0.75 and then added to thedead load. Increases in allowable stress cannot be used in thesecombinations. The reader is encouraged to review the most currentASCE 7 section on load combinations and the use of allowablestress increases.

Concentrated & Varying LoadsStandard SJI joists are intended to support uniform loads. Section5.5 Loads of the Recommended Code of Standard Practicerecommends that load diagrams be provided for joists supportingnon-standard loads such as concentrated and tapered loads. Arecommended method for selecting approximate joist sizes for non-standard loads is outlined in Section 5.5 of the SJI specification,pages 91 to 93 and on pages XII and XIII of this catalog. Unlessinstructed otherwise through the use of load diagrams or specialnotes, joists shown as standard designations will be designed for theSJI uniform load according to the span and designation.

Chord bending must be considered for concentrated loads that arenot at panel points. Chord bending considerations are eliminatedwhen the joist is designed for the effects of the concentrated loadsand a shop or field applied web member is placed from the concen-trated load to the nearest opposite chord panel point. (See page XIVfor typical web stiffener detail.) Tapered loads such as snow driftneed to be clearly shown and defined. The length, maximum loadfrom drift and joists affected need to be identified through the use ofload diagrams.

KCS vs. K-Series JoistsA KCS joist has constant moment and shear capacities along itslength. The maximum uniform load is 550plf. This joist series allowsflexibility of concentrated load locations and magnitudes due to itemssuch as mechanical units. Since the joist is selected based uponmaximum moment and shear the specifier needs only be sure thatthese values are not exceeded. Off panel loads must be reinforcedaccording to the “Field Applied Web Stiffener Detail” on page XIV ofthis catalog. See pages 28 through 31 of the SJI specifications of thiscatalog and pages X and XI for KCS selection examples.

Tie JoistsRegulation §1926.757(a)1 of the Office of Occupation Safety andHealth Administration (OSHA) have special requirements for joists ator near columns. Required items include, but are not limited to,slotted bearings in joists, a column stabilizer plate (not by NCJC)with a hole for the attachment of guy wires and specific strengthrequirements (see figure 4 on page V.) All of these items providestability to the structure during erection. Refer to the NCJC and SJIposition papers for a more in-depth discussion of this topic.

Effective -vs- Gross Moment of InertiaBecause of their open-web system joist products experience somedegree of shear deflection. Because of this effect the chord momentof inertia is not 100% effective. SJI recommends increasing deflec-tions calculated using standard beam formulas by 15% to account forshear deflection. Therefore the effective moment of inertia is less thanthe chord moment of inertia, see equation 1 below.

The Ij formulas at the beginning of the K, LH, DLH standard loadtables are based on simple beam deflection increased by 15%. TheIj formulas can be derived by increasing the simple beam deflectionequation by 1.15, setting it equal to L/360 and solving for Ij in termsof W and L. This is illustrated in an example in section 1006 of theSJI catalog, “How to Specify Joist Girders”.

Moment of inertia values are also a consideration when designingjoists as part of structural frames. The stiffness of members in aframe directly affect the distribution of the internal forces. Thespecifying professional must consider the effective joist moment ofinertia in a frame analysis. The specifying professional can use theavailable formula in the SJI tables to calculate the approximatemoment of interia of a member as discussed above.

By stating that moment of inertia values on the contract documentsit will be assumed that the specifying professional has alreadyaccounted for the 15% increase. Effective moment of inertiarequires the 15% increase to be accounted for by the manufacturer.If gross or effective is not specified NCJ will assume gross momentof inertia applies.

Chord ForcesStructural frames and bracing systems may induce axial forces intojoist chords. The specifying professional needs to define theseforces on the documents.

Moment Resisting FramesJoist products are routinely specified as members of momentresisting frames. These members must be designed to resist lateralmoments and any continuity moments due to dead or live loadsdepending on the connection details. The specifying professionalmust provide all loading and assumed gross moment of inertia. Themagnitude and type of each end moment, along with the breakdownof the concentrated loads must be provided. This will enable the joistto be designed for various load combinations.

The approximate gross moment of inertia can be obtained from theIj equations listed at the beginning of the load tables and in Section1006 of the Joist Girder specification. Research has shown that100% of the chord moment of inertia is effective when analyzing

frames. Typically, the member is designed for the full gravity loadsassuming a simple beam. The end moments are then combined withthe concentrated loads for each appropriate load combination.

The column connection is a very important consideration for joists inmoment resisting frames. A direct connection of the joist top chord tothe column is the most efficient means of developing the endmoments. The connections must be designed by the specifyingengineer to develop the required end moments. Chord membersizes can be provided by NCJC that will allow the specifyingengineer to determine weld requirements. When a standard bearingdetail is used an additional eccentric moment develops in the joist,see Figure 1. This additional moment must be resisted by the joistseat and the connection to the column.

An alternative detail is to use a “tie angle” (figure 2 below). The “tieangle” resists the dead and live load moments by balancing theconnection. However, any forces resulting from the unbalanced windloads would have to be transferred through the joist seats.

The preferred details for joists with end moments are shown onpage XX of this catalog. These details tie the chords of the joists/girders directly to the columns. Although these details require somefield welding they provide positive attachment of the column.

When joists that resist end moments sit on top of joist girders dueconsideration must be given to the load path of the forces in the seats.The force couple resulting from the end moments on the joists mustpass through the girders. Often the girder seats require stiffeningplates that can interfere with bolting requirements (see figure 3.)

Sloped JoistsThe Standard SJI Load Tables are intended for parallel chord joistsinstalled to a maximum slope of 1/2 inch per foot with the loadnormal to the top chord. For sloping members live load is typicallyprojected over the plan length and dead load along the slope length.It is the responsibility of the design professional to properly utilizethe SJI load tables by resolving all loads normal to the top chord.Any components parallel to the top chord must be specified by thedesign professional and should be included as additional axial loadin the top chord. NCJ will determine uniform loads based on thestandard designation and actual length of joists along member slopeunless instructed otherwise. If no additional axial top chord loads arenoted on the contract documents NCJ will assume that the designprofessional has accounted for them in the selection of a standardjoist. See page VIII for an example illustrating a suggested method ofspecifying sloping joists and required seat depths.

CamberCamber is optional for K-Series joists, however, NCJ manufacturesall joists with camber. Camber is the initial upward curvature that is

built into a member. Camber is based upon a radius of 3,600 feet.Depending on the length of a cantilevered end it may have an initialdownward deflection as a result of camber within the span. Cantile-vered ends must be investigated for deflection and camber by thespecifying professional.

All joists are manufactured with the approximate camber asspecified in sections 4.7, 103.6 and 1003.6. The specifying profes-sional is responsible for the joist designation and consideration ofthe camber with respect to other components of the structure.Exterior and end joists may not receive the same amount of load asadjacent joists and therefore experience different deflections. Thespecifier should consider relative deflections when selecting joists.Approximate moment of inertia formulae are contained in the SJIload tables. The New Columbia Joist Company can provide approxi-mate moment of inertia information upon request.

Vibration in Joist SystemsElevated floors utilizing joists tend to have vibration characteristics thatmay be perceptible. It is the responsibility of the design professional toevaluate the structural system for the effects of vibration.

PondingPonding analysis must be performed by the specifying professional.Any special requirement such as minimum moment of inertia mustto be clearly shown on the documents.

Pedestrian and Pipe BridgesJoist products are occasionally utilized in non-standard applicationssuch as pedestrian and pipe bridges. These applications often usetwo joists without top chord decking. The stability and capacity ofsteel joists are dependant upon proper lateral bracing of thecompression chord according to the SJI requirements. Lateralstability of the compression chords must be evaluated by thespecifying design professional. Installation and erection according toSJI requirements is the responsibility of the specifying professional.NCJ cannot be held responsible for the improper use of its productsand any liabilities from such use.

GEOMETRY AND MINIMUM LENGTHS

K-Series joists are suppliedwith underslung or squareends. Top and bottom chordsare parallel, they cannot bepitched relative to the bottomchords. Double or singlepitched top chords must bespecified as longspans. Joistscan be supplied with tiltedbearings in directon of joistslope only.

Joist SubstitutesJoist substitutes are 2.5 inch deep sections intended for use in very short spans(less than 8 feet) where Open Web Steel Joists are impractical. They are commonlyspecified to span over hallways and short spans in skewed bays.

Joist substitutes are fabricated from material conforming to Steel Joist InstituteSpecifications. Full lateral support to the compressive flange is provided byattachments to the metal deck. Caution must be exercised during erection sincejoist substitutes exhibit some degree of instability. The ends must be welded to thesupports per S.J.I. K-Series Specifications and the metal deck installed andattached to the top flange before loads of any description are placed on the joistsubstitutes. The figures shown in bold italics are the uniform live loads which produce an

EXTENDED ENDS

Reinforced Top Chord Extension, SJI Type “R”Reinforced extended ends can be furnished when the top chordangles alone cannot support the loads specified. Alternatively,R1 through R12 can be specified, see pages 12 and 13.Standard depths of 2 1/2” and 5” are used for these extensions.

Top Chord Extension, SJI Type “S”Extended top chords are provided when the top chord aloneis capable of supporting the loads specified. Alternatively,S1 through S12 can be specified, see pages 12 and 13.

Extended Bearing SeatSeats longer than the standard bearing can be accommo-dated by requesting an Extended Bearing Seat. Note thatthe extended bearing seat does not change the location ofthe working point of the joist reaction. NCJ considers onlythe standard bearing as being effective in transferring thejoist reaction. Minimum bearing requirements must befulfilled within the standard bearing length of the extendedseat. The working point of the end web is 2" in from astandard bearing length.

Top Chord Extension Design AssumptionsDesigned for SJI tabular load of joist unless otherwisestated by the design professional.Other loads must be specified on a loading diagramshowing magnitude and location.Deflection limits, if a design criteria, must be stated on thecontract documents.Top chord extension assumed to be laterally stayed by thefloor slab or roof deck.

Both bottom chords can be extended to the face of columns, beams orwalls when additional lateral support is required.

Bottom Chord Extensions

Rigid ConnectionsIf a rigid connection of the bottom chord is to be made to the column or othersupports, it shall be made at the direction of the specifying professional.Typically this connection is made after all dead loads are in place. Once thisconnection is made the joist is no longer simply supported and the system mustbe evaluated for continuity by the specifying professional. Please seesuggested moment connections on Page XVII.

BOTTOM CHORD EXTENSIONS

Specifying Standard Extended EndsBelow are examples of how to evaluate and specify 2 1/2” deep Type R1 to R12 or S1 to S12 extended ends. (See pages 11 through 13 of the SJI catalog for extensionproperties.) If the required moment of inertia or section modulus is greater than those for the R12 extension then seats deeper than 2 1/2” are required. Please contact NCJdirectly for determining if 5" deep extensions will work for your application. Limit ∆

This information is based upon standard SJI loading, spansand NCJ panel configuration. Joists with special loadingrequirements may have different dimensions and need to bereviewed individually. If a specific duct location and size isrequired it must be explicitly noted on the structural documents.

JOIST DUCTS

KCS joists were introduced in an effortto provide a versatile standard joist thatcan be easily specified to supportuniform, non-uniform and concentratedloads. The KCS joist can be usefulwhen approximate concentrated loadmagnitudes are known but locations arenot, e.g. unknown final mechanical unitlocations. The web system of a KCSjoist is designed for a constant shearequal to the published maximumreaction. For example, all webs of a20KCS3, except the end web, aredesigned as compression members

Specifying KCS joistsusing a shear of 6,000 pounds. Thechords are designed for the publishedmoment of 595 inch-kips. The maximumallowable uniform load at any point for aKCS joist is 550 plf. Typically, loaddiagrams are not required for KCSjoists. However, if uniform loads at anypoint are greater than 550 plf theSpecifying Professional must adviseNCJ of the maximum magnitude.Pleaserefer to pages 28 and 29 of theStandard SJI Catalog for morediscussion regarding KCS Joists and anadditional example of specifying them.

ATTACHING DECK TO JOISTSThe SJI specifications call for steel deck to be attached to K and LH (and DLH) series joists at a maximum spacing of 36" (914 mm)and, the attachment for K series be capable of resisting a lateral force of 300 lbs (1.34 kN). For LH or DLH the resisting force rangesfrom 120 lbs/ft. to 250 lbs./ft. (1.75 kN/m to 3.65 kN/m.). Deck is normally attached at spacings less than 36" and the attachmentseasily meet the load requirements. Attachments can be arc puddle welds, screws, pneumatic or powder driven pins. If the deck isto be welded and thinner than 22 gage then welding washers should be used. Deck thicker than 22 gage does not require weldingwashers. (22 gage = 0.0295" = 0.7mm)

Fastening the deck not only stabilizes the joist top chords but provides diaphragm strength and wind uplift resistance. In addition,some fire ratings specify the amount of fastening required. Our affiliated company, United Steel Deck, Incorporated, our affiliatecompany, can provide information, including diaphragm data, that can be used in selecting the type and number fasteners.

EXAMPLE:Load Information: P* = 500 lbs max. Drift Load = 100 plf

* A field applied web siffener must be installed if concentratedloads do not fall at panel points. (SEE PAGE XIV)

No allowance has been made for fireproofing. The dimensionsshown are maximum overall sizes capable of being passedthrough standard joists. If fireproofing is required the duct size mustbe reduced.

Due to the variability of joist girder configurations this table doesnot apply to girders.

Specifying professional must indicate on structural drawings sizeand location of any duct that is to pass thru joist. This does notinclude any fireproofing attached to joist. For deeper LH and DLHseries joists, consult manufacturer.

Standing SeamRoof Systems (SSR)Industry standards are toassume that SSR systemsDO NOT adequately brace thetop chord of joists. In mostcases standard SJI bridging isnot sufficient for bracing thecompression chord. Werecommend that the designprofessional note on thedrawings that SSR is beingutilized and that the joistmanufacturer needs to provideadequate bridging to properlybrace the top chord under fulldesign load.

Net Uplift BridgingWhen uplift forces from windare a design consideration thedesign professional mustplace the NET UPLIFT values,either in terms of PSF or PLFper joist, on the drawings.These loads must be consid-ered in the design of the joistsand bridging. A minimum of anadditional row of horizontalbridging near the first bottomchord panel point at each endis required when uplift is adesign consideration.Depending on the Net Upliftvalues additional bottom chordbridging may also be required.

To ensure that joists are capable of supporting the special loads and to obtaincorrect, competitive bids the specifying professional should follow the procedurelisted below. This procedure requires the specifying professional to calculate thesimple span moment and reactions. These values are then used to calculateequivalent uniform loads based on simple span conditions. The maximum equivalentuniform load is then used to select a standard designation that approximates thefinal size of the joist required to support the special loads. The specifyingprofessional must place “SP” after the standard designation and show thecomplete load diagram on the construction documents. Note that concentratedloads must be reinforced with a field applied web stiffener if not at a panel point.(See page XIV).

DETAILS

WARNING - For erection stability refer to the SJI Sections 5 and 6 and K-Series Load Table. When it is necessary for the erector to climb on the joists, extremecaution must be exercised since unbridged joists may exhibit some degree of instability under the erector’s weight.In general construction loads must not be put on joists until the bridging is attached and the joists are anchored at their ends.

3

Note 1:Typically the maximum reaction that can be supported by a K-Series joist isapproximately 8,700 pounds. If the maximum reaction due to actual loads isgreater than 8,700 pounds consider double K-Series or LH-Series. For LH andDLH joist series a conservative end reaction can be found by dividing thetabulated Safe Load by two.

Mmax = 20,267 ft. - lb.= (wplf-Moment) Span2 ⇒ Wplf-Moment = 406 plf

Rmax (Note 1) = 3,588 lbs. = (wplf-Reaction)Span ⇒ Wplf-Reaction = 359 plf

Since Wplf-Moment > Wplf-reaction use 406 plf to select approximate standard

designation from SJI load tables.

From the standard SJI load tables approximate joist size to be 16K3.

SJI capacity = 410 plf > w plf-moment = 406 plf

Specify joist designation as 16K3SP on framing plans and show loading diagram.

If joist girders are used be sure to indicate additional reactions on the joist girders,

e.g. + 1,500lbs. in addition to typical panel point loading.

Joist products are beingutilized in framing plans thatrequire them to be placed ona skew with regards tosupports. This type of framingcan cause the end web andbearings to be off of thesupport. The severity of thiscondition is compoundedwhen Long Spans are used.Long Span joists typicallyhave double angle end webmembers which prevent thecenter of the joist from beingover the support.

It is the responsibility of theSpecifying Professional toensure that proper and stablebearing conditions areprovided. Minimum bearinglengths must be providedaccording to SJI specifica-tions. Both bearing anglesneed to be supported toprevent the joist from rollingoff of the support. Thesesketches are an aid theSpecifying Professional indeveloping details that willprovide adequate and stablebearings on skewed conditions.

SKEWED JOIST CONDITIONS

Notes:1. Depth and Length of Pocket can be

determined assuming the end web is45o from the top chord.

2. Width of Pocket for K-Series can beassumed to be 8". Contact NCJ forLong Span requirements.

Web StiffenerA web stiffener must be field applied at all concentrated loads not occurring at joist panelpoints unless directed otherwise by the specifying professional. This applies to alljoists and girders including SP, KCS and standard designations.

MembersChords are composed oftwo angles designed ascontinuous members.

Webs are eithersingle,double or crimpedangles. End webs areeither double angles orround bars.

Camber for Longspans and Joist GirdersCamber is provided in all joists, regardless of top chord pitch, according to the table below. Standard SJI camber is based on a radius of 3600 feet. Camber is not reducedwhen non-parallel chord joists are specified. If full camber is not required, such as near walls or other structural members, please place a note to that affect on the plans.Special camber can be provided at an additional premium. If special camber is required indicate the amount of camber in inches on the plans.

The specifying professional needs to evaluate the effects of camber and deflection with regards to bridging and decking requirements in the last joist space. Oftenproblems with bridging and decking are encountered as a result of camber when joists are higher than other “non-deflecting” structural members.

Often, relative deflection causes distress in cross-bolted bridging in an end space. Horizontal bridging should be considered for these conditions. Please see page XII forsuggested bridging details for the end space of joists.

Approximate moment of inertia for use in calculating joist deflection can be determined by using the equations published in the front of the SJI load tables.

* All depths shown are nominal dimension.** Panel length may vary due to optimization of material. If standard panel length must be maintained, e.g., due to duct work passing through, be sure

to clearly specify this on the contract documents.

Joist Girders are primaryframing members whichtypically support other joistproducts at panel points. JoistGirders are typically designedas simply supported trusses,however they can be utilized inmoment frames to resist dead,live, seismic and wind loadmoments. Ideally the concen-trated loads are at panelpoints, eliminating bending inthe chord angles. Off panelloads can be accommodatedbut they can increase chordsize requirements.

Joist Bearing Between Column LinesTypically, joists are welded to the top chord of joist girders. Refer to OSHA§1926.757 (a)(8)(i), (ii) for field bolting requirements. Field installed struts limit theslenderness ratio of the joist girder bottom chord to 240. Additional struts may berequired to brace the bottom chord if uplift or end moments are specified.

Joist Bearing At Column LineColumn line joists are attached to the top chord of Joist Girders by two 1/2" or3/4" diameter bolts. Bottom chords of column line joists may be extended tocolumns and loosely connected to column stabilizer plates. If a fixed connection isrequired, the continuity affects must be investigated by the specifying professional.

To the right is a suggested format forspecifying joist products that are tosupport end moments and/or chordforces. Typically joist products are notdesigned to resist dead load endmoments or chord forces. Chordsshould be connected directly tosupporting columns by tie plates. Thisprovides a direct load path for theinternal forces resulting from the endmoments and/or axial forces. See pageIV for discussion and page XX forsuggested details.

MOMENT CONNECTION DETAILS

The above are suggested details for developing end moments on joist products. The specifying professional needs to consider the load path of the chord forces due to theend moments. This issue becomes very critical when members in both directions are required to resist end moments. In general, a tie plate which directly connects the topchord of the member to the supporting column should be designed and furnished. This requires the column to be extended, and provides a direct load path for the topchord axial force due to the moment. The specifying professional is responsible for supplying the moment magnitudes, load types, and any moment of inertia criteria. Themoment tie plates are to be designed by the specifying professional and furnished by others.

Determining Approximate Moment of InertiaThe approximate moment of inertia (I) in inches 4 of joist girders can be calculated by the equation:I = 0.027 NPLd, where N is the number of panels, P is the panel point load in kips, L is the span in feet, and d is the depth in inches. Be sure to decrease Igross to Ieffectivewhen calculating deflections, see page V.

FOREWARDThe Steel Joist Institutespublishes a Technical Digest No.9, “Handling and Erection of SteelJoists and Joist Girders.” TechnicalDigest No. 9 is a detailed sourceof information for the erection ofsteel joists and joist girders. Thefollowing information is a simplifiedoverview of some highlights of theerection and handling process.The following information is in noway to be used as a substitute forSJI Technical Digest No. 9,specifications, or established, sounderection procedures and OSHArequirements. Please refer to theposition papers by NCJ and SJI for amore in-depth discussion of theseOSHA requirements.

The New Columbia Joist Company(NCJ) assumes no responsibilityfor the use of this information. Theuse of this data is entirelyvoluntary. NCJ is a manufacturerof steel joists, joist girders andtheir accessories, and as such,NCJ relinquishes control over thejoist products at the time ofdelivery. The contractor, erector,owner and their agents have theresponsibility to receive, unload,handle, store, erect and install thedelivered joist products properlyand safely.

GENERALSteel joists and joists girders arelightweight structural memberswhich are capable of supportingsubstantial loads provided theyhave adequate lateral stability.Adequate lateral bracing requiresthat the bracing members bestrong enough to restrict thelateral movement of the joist orjoist girder at the points ofattachment; and that the distancebetween lines of bracing be shortenough to prevent lateral bucklingof the top chord.NCJ Steel Joists are designed perSteel Joist Institute specificationsto carry the published catalogloads when their top chords are

The SJI Sections 6 and 105 shall be adhered to for erection of joists.

ERECTION GUIDE

braced according to SJI. SJI requiresthe top chords of joists to be laterallyrestrained at a maximum of 36” oncenters. Lateral restraint is normallysupplied through attachment of flooror roof deck. If lateral restraints areplaced further apart than 36", or ifthe lateral restraints have insufficientstrength, the carrying capacity of thejoist will be reduced. NCJ JoistGirders are designed per Steel JoistInstitute specifications to carry thespecified design loads when theirtop chords are prevented fromlateral movement by the steeljoists they support. If lateralrestraints are placed further apartthan the joist spacing, or if thelateral restraints have insufficientstrength, the carrying capacity ofa joist girder will be reduced.

HANDLING OF JOISTS ANDJOIST GIRDERSCare should be exercised at alltimes to avoid personal injury ordamage to joists or joist girdersthrough careless handling duringunloading, storing and erecting. If ajoist or joist girder has beendamaged or is otherwise imperfectit may be unsafe to use. Theproduct should not be erected untilthe problem has been corrected.

ERECTION OF JOISTS, JOISTGIRDERS AND INSTALLATIONOF BRIDGINGDuring the erection period andprior to the installation of floor orroof deck, joists and joist girderswill not be capable of supportingtheir published catalog loads. Theloading which a joist or joist girderwill carry during this perioddepends on the strength andlocation of the bridging.

SHORTSPAN JOISTSMost shortspan joists (K-Series)spanning less than 40' can safelysupport their own weight withoutthe benefit of any lateral support.However, these joists may not beable to support the additional

weight of erectors until after bridginghas been installed. Each bridgingline must be anchored to preventlateral movement. Suitableanchorage is the responsibility ofthe Specifying Professional and/orErector. Bridging lines must beanchored to prevent lateralmovement. Suitable anchoragecould be obtained from a wellbraced column, beam or wall.Hoisting cables shall not beslackened until at least the bridgingline nearest midspan has beeninstalled. Where joists are bottombearing the top chord at the endsmust also be restrained laterally.Suitable anchorage is theresponsibility of the SpecifyingProfessional and/or Erector.

LONGSPAN JOISTSLongspan joists (LH and DLH-Series) must have lateral supportin order to safely support theirown weight plus the weight of theerectors. EACH JOIST SHALL BELATERALLY BRACED PER SJIBEFORE THE NEXT JOIST ISERECTED AND BEFORE ANYLOADS ARE APPLIED. Bridginglines must be anchored toprevent lateral movement.Suitable anchorage could beobtained from a well bracedcolumn, beam or wall. Hoistingcables must not be slackeneduntil at least the line of bolteddiagonal bridging nearestmidspan or, 2 lines of bolteddiagonal bridging nearest thethird points of the spans areinstalled. Additionally, bottombearing joists must have their topchords laterally restrained nearthe bottom bearing. The bolt andnut at the intersection of the twopieces must be installed asbridging is being placed. Beforethe application of any loads,except the weight of the erector,all bridging shall be completelyinstalled and the joists perma-nently fastened in place. Duringthe construction period, the

erector shall provide a meansfor adequate distribution ofconstruction loads so that thecarrying capacity of any joist isnot exceeded.

JOIST GIRDERSJoist girders shall have positiveattachment to the support byeither bolting or welding. Thebottom chords shall be looselyconnected, such as over a knifeplate, to the supporting member.This connection is required toprevent overturning duringerection. The bearings andbottom chords must be stabilizedprior to releasing the hoistingcables. A rigid connection of thebottom chord is to be made onlywhen specified by the specifyingprofessional. Section 1004.5 ofthe Steel Joist Institute Specifica-tions on bracing requires that joistgirders be proportioned such thatthey can be erected withoutlateral bracing provided the endsof the bottom chords have beenrestrained against lateralmovement and no other loads areplaced on the joist girder. Noloads other than the weight of theerectors shall be applied to thejoist girders until all the joists havebeen completely and permanentlyfastened in place.

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGESLight WeightThe design of Open-Web Steel Joistsis an efficient use of light structuralsteel members. Chord members aretypically 99% + stressed, and websizes are varied along the length ofthe span according to the shear onthe member. The result is an efficient,engineered product. The light weightof Open-Web Joists can also reducethe required size of beams, columnsand footings, thus lowering theoverall cost of the project.

Construction SpeededEach joist is a complete and indepen-dent unit. As soon as the joists areerected and bridged a platform isavailable for the various trades allowingfield work to progress efficiently.

Standardized SizesNCJ joist products are standardized forlength, depth and carrying capacity inaccordance with the Steel Joist Institute.Special loads can be accommodatedthrough load diagrams and notes. Pleaserefer to section 5.5 Loads of theRecommended Code of StandardPractice for Steel Joists and Joist Girders.

Conceals Ducts & ConduitThe open webs of joists permit passageof other systems such as mechanicalducts, electrical conduit and plumbingwithin the plenum of the structuralsystem. Information is available fromNCJ on the approximate size of ductwhich will pass through the web systemof standard joists (see page X).

NJB has offices locatedin key geographic construction regionsalong the East coast and the Mid-West.Please see the back of this catalog forlocations, addresses and phonenumbers of the NJB sales officenearest your location or visit NJB onthe web at www.njb-united.com.

The New Columbia Joist Company has an extensive Quality Control program in place. Quality Control starts from the time yourorder is received to the time it is delivered. Orders are checked for accuracy and completeness at various stages of processing.Detailing personnel check each job against contract documents prior to releasing the order to our Engineers. During engineering,orders are designed and checked before being released to production. In our plant each production line has Quality Controlpersonnel to verify that the members and welds on the product are in accordance with the orders released from engineering. Allwelders are certified to American Welding Society Standards. All welds are manually made using the shielded gas metal arcwelding process in accordance with the Steel Joist Institute requirements.

The New Columbia Joist Company also conducts full scale testing of their products. By applying loads that exceed the service loadmagnified by the required safety factor the joists are tested to their ultimate capacity. These tests verify that the joists are designed,assembled and welded properly. The results of these tests show that NCJ joists meet or exceed the requirements of the SJI.
