1951 Longspan Joist Puzzle
1951 Longspan Joist Puzzle
(OP)
Looking at an old set of plans dated 1951 and there are two longspan joist designations that I don't see in my limited vintage literature.
First: (26" Longspan Joists #2610) x 51' clear
Second: (26" Longspan Joists #2614) x 51' clear
Anyone have any information on these?

51' sounds like a bridge span!

The real stumper is that no joist tables that I have use 26" as a standard design depth, but I have to think they used some sort of reference to design the building.
