(OP)
I'm going over the example from the book "Designing with Steel Joists, Joist Girders and Steel Deck" by Fisher, West and Van de Pas, 1991.
Page 165: How did they calculate the tension in the end bar and the maximum compression rod?
Is there a simple way to detemine these forces other than a computer model of the entire joist.
Is there any other method books available for joist reinforcement?

I haven't heard of any other books for joist reinforcement. The one you have is very good imho. It's straight forward and the recommendations are simple and easy to implement in the field for the most part.
