Reinforcing Existing OW Steel Joist
Reinforcing Existing OW Steel Joist
(OP)
I am trying to find info(methods, details) for reinforcing existing open web steel joists. My situation is that we are adding a 2nd floor to an existing building and the existing rood joists will become overstressed in shear at the end supports with the new loads. Thoughts, ideas? Capacity is 6kips, new loads bring the end reactions to about 7+kips
I understand a paper was published in the Engineering Journal by James Fisher discussing this topic. Can I find this on the web somewhere?

But if there is a whole floor that will be overstressed at the ends of the joists, I would consider sistering in new joists beside the existing rather than all the modifications that will be required. But it may not be that much to do if the joists are within a kip of working for shear.
