STEEL JOIST DESIGN (SJI)

In accordance with 43rd using the ASD design method
TEDDS calculation version 1.1.02

Joist Geometry
Span; L = 30 ft
Joist spacing; s = 4 ft
Loading details
Dead load; DL = 15 psf
Floor live load; LL = 30 psf
Snow load; SL = 30 psf
Maximum roof load; LLr_max = max(LLr, SL, RL) = 30 psf
From ASCE 7-10 cl.2.4.1 - Combining nominal loads using allowable stress design (Utilization)
Load combination no.1; DL ; (0.191)
Load combination no.2; DL + LL ; (0.518)
Load combination no.3; DL + (LLr or SL or RL) ; (0.518)
Load combination no.4; DL + 0.75LL + 0.75(LLr or SL or RL) ; (0.681)
Joist Properties
Joist designation; 18LH02
Joist weight; wjoist = 10 lb/ft
Joist depth; D = 18 in
Joist moment of Inertia; I = 26.767 ft 2/lb / 124  wDallow360  (L - 0.33 ft) 3  10-6 = 148.2 in4
Modulus of elasticity steel; ES = 29000000 psi
Stress Check
Design total distributed load; wTL = (DL + 0.75  LL + 0.75  LLr_max)  s + wjoist = 250 lb/ft
Allowable total distributed load; wTLallow = 367 lb/ft
Utilization ratio; wTL / wTLallow = 0.681
PASS - Design total distributed load is less than allowable load
Deflection Check (Unfactored loads)
Distributed load producing L/360 deflection; wDallow360 = 212 plf
Adjusted distributed load upper limit; wDallow_UL = 367 plf
Live load deflection limit; L / 360 = 1 in
Design distributed live load; wLLD = (0.75  LL + 0.75  LLr_max)  s = 180 lb/ft
Allowable distributed live load; wLLDallow = wDallow360 = 212 lb/ft
Utilization ratio; wLLD / wLLDallow = 0.849
PASS - Design live load deflection is less than allowable
Joist construction notes
- Joist weight is 10 pounds per foot
- Approximate joist camber is 0.375 in
- The maximum spacing of lines of top chord bridging is 10 ft
- Joist seat depth is 5 in
- Minimum end bearing length on masonry is 6 in
- Minimum end bearing length on steel is 2.5 in
