John W. Hancock Jr., Inc. Joist Information?
John W. Hancock Jr., Inc. Joist Information?
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone had any information for joists manufactured by John W. Hancock Jr., Inc.?
The joists tags are simple. They say:
John W. Hancock Jr, Inc.
H17241_H2
I'm assuming the "H17241" is the job number since it is common with other joists on the same project and the "H2" is the joist designation.
The joist designations do not seem to fit the standard SJI designations from the early 70s (when the building was constructed) published in the applicable joist tables. For example, this joist, designated "H2", is 24" deep. The SJI load tables from 1972 do not show a 24H2. The smallest joist appears to be a 24H6.
I have questions on other joists on this project as well. Thanks for any help.
