1951 steel joist loading
1951 steel joist loading
(OP)
I need to check the loading on 16" dp. steel joist
that was manufacturered in 1952. The plans
indicate the spacing at 47" and a weight of 167
lbs. The span is 26' Does anyone have a old joist
catalog that would indicate the PLF loading?

The SJI "50 year Steel Joist Digest" indicates an allowable total safe loading of 257 plf for a span of 27 feet (26 feet is not listed) for a SJ167 or a SJ167W. It has a resisting moment of 281,000 inch-pounds and maximum end reaction of 3,600 pounds.
I hope this helps!
