JOIST
JOIST
Program Description:
"JOIST" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of steel joists considered as
simple-span beams subjected to virtually any type of loading configuration. Specifically, beam end reactions as well
as the maximum moments and deflections are calculated. Plots of both the shear and moment diagrams are
produced, as well as a tabulation of the shear, moment, slope, and deflection for the joist span. There are two
worksheets for selecting K-series and LH-series joists, and 2 worksheets which are the SJI Standard Load Tables.
1. For the "General Joist Analysis" worksheet, the following reference was used in the development of this program:
"Modern Formulas for Statics and Dynamics, A Stress-and-Strain Approach"
by Walter D. Pilkey and Pin Yu Chang, McGraw-Hill Book Company (1978), pages 11 to 21.
2. The "General Joist Analysis" worksheet on the joist span will handle a full length uniform load and up to eight (8)
partial uniform, triangular, or trapezoidal loads, up to fifteen (15) point loads, and up to four (4) applied moments.
3. The "General Joist Analysis" worksheet will calculate the joist end vertical reactions, the maximum positive
moment and negative moment (if applicable), and the maximum negative deflection and positive deflection (if
applicable). The calculated values for the end reactions and maximum moments and deflections are determined
from dividing the joist into fifty (50) equal segments with fifty-one (51) points, and including all of the point load
and applied moment locations as well. (Note: the actual point of maximum moment occurs where the shear = 0,
or passes through zero, while the actual point of maximum deflection is where the slope = 0.)
4. In the "General Joist Analysis" worksheet the user is given the ability to input two (2) specific locations from the
left end of the joist to calculate the shear, moment, slope, deflection, as well as the stress ratios for shear and
moment. This should be utilized when the maximum moment does not occur at the start or end of a segment.
5. In the "General Joist Analysis" worksheet, the plots of the shear and moment diagrams as well as the displayed
tabulation of shear, moment, slope, and deflection are based on the joist span being divided up into fifty (50)
equal segments with-one (51) points.
6. The "General Joist Analysis" worksheet will enable the user to either analyze an existing joist for new loads or
determine the required total equivalent uniform load to be used to size a new joist.
7. The "General Joist Analysis" worksheet only analyzes the joist "as a whole" and does not perform checks on the
individual components.
8. In the "General Joist Analysis" worksheet, the deflections calculated include a 15% increase above the values
calculated using traditional "simple-beam" flexure to more closely match actual test results obtained by SJI.
9. For the "K-Joist Analysis" and "LH-Joist Analysis" worksheets, the Steel Joist Institute (SJI) Standard Load Table
as well the "Recommended Code of Standard Practice for Steel Joists and Joist Girders" are used. The
Standard Load Tables are built into each of these two analysis worksheets. The two worksheets will evaluate a
user selected joist size, as well as display up to a maximum of 15 of the lightest joist sizes that are satisfactory
for the loading and deflection criteria specified by the user. The bridging requirements are also determined.
10. This program contains numerous “comment boxes” which contain a wide variety of information including
explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a “comment box”
is denoted by a “red triangle” in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the
desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)

Notes:
1. BLUE figures in above Load Table give TOTAL safe uniformly distributed load-carrying capacities, in pounds per linear foot, of K-series joists.
2. Weight of DEAD loads, including joists, must be deducted to determine LIVE load-carrying capacities of joists.
3. Load Table above may be used for parallel chord joists installed to maximum of 1/2 per foot slope.
4. Figures shown in RED in above Load Table are LIVE loads per linear foot of joist which will produce approximate deflection of 1/360 of span.
5. Live loads which will produce deflection of 1/240 of span may be obtained by multiplying figures in RED by 1.5
6. In no case shall TOTAL load capacity of joists be exceeded.
7. Approximate joist weights per linear foot shown in above Load Table do NOT include accessories.
8. Approximate moment of inertia of joist, in in.^4 is: Ij = 26.767*W(LL)*L^3/1000000, where W(LL) = RED figure in Table and L = (Span-0.33) in feet.
9. For concentrated and/or varying loads, add an "SP" after joist designation on joist loading diagram on design drawings, and note that joist supplier
shall design joist to support loads as shown.
10. Where joist span exceeds shaded area of above Load Table, row of bridging nearest midspan shall be diagonal bridging with bolted connections at
chords and midspan.

**(1-6) Denotes row of bridging nearest mid-span required to be diagonal bridging. ###
**(1-6)** Denotes all rows of bridging required to be diagonal bridging. ###
###
Notes: 1. OSHA is interpreting Section 29CFR-1926.751(c)2 to mean all joists whose length ###
>= 40' require bolted diagonal bridging in place before slackening of hoisting lines. ###
2. For point loads on LH-series joists, the magnitude and location of load should be ###
indicated on the design drawings and "SP" must be added to the joist designation. ###

Notes:
1. BLUE figures in above Load Table give TOTAL safe uniformly distributed load-carrying capacities, in pounds per linear foot, of LH-series joists.
2. Weight of DEAD loads, including joists, must be deducted to determine LIVE load-carrying capacities of joists.
3. Figures shown in RED in above Load Table are LIVE loads per linear foot of joist which will produce approximate deflection of 1/360 of span.
4. Live loads which will produce deflection of 1/240 of span may be obtained by multiplying figures in RED by 1.5
5. In no case shall TOTAL load capacity of joists be exceeded.
6. Approximate joist weights per linear foot shown in above Load Table do NOT include accessories.
7. Load Table above applies to joists with either parallel chords or standard pitched top chords. When top chords are pitched, carrying capacities are
determined by nomonal depth of joists at center of span. Standard top chord pitch is 1/8" per foot. If pitch exceeds this standard, Load Table does not
apply. Load Table above may be used for parallel chord joists installed to maximum of 1/2 per foot slope.
8. Approximate moment of inertia of joist, in in.^4 is: Ij = 26.767*W (LL)*L^3/1000000, where W(LL) = RED figure in Table and L = (Span+0.67) in feet.
9. For concentrated and/or varying loads, add an "SP" after joist designation on joist loading diagram on design drawings, and note that joist supplier shall
design joist to support loads as shown.
10. Where joist span exceeds RED shaded area of above Load Table, row of bridging nearest midspan shall be diagonal bridging with bolted connections at
chords and intersection. Hoisting cables shall not be released until this row of bolted diagonal bridging is completely installed.
11. Where joist span exceeds BLUE shaded area of above Load Table, all rows of bridging shall be diagonal bridging with bolted connections at
chords and intersection. Hoisting cables shall not be released until two rows of bridging nearest third points are completely installed.
12. When holes are required in top or bottom chords, carrying capacities must be reduced inproportion to reduction of chord areas.
13. Top chords are considered as being stayed (braced) laterally by floor slab or roof deck.
