OWSJ KL/r
OWSJ KL/r
(OP)
I am designing some 18" OWSJ, for the KL/r the steel handbook says r is the radius of gyration. I have tried using it for round bar and my web comes out extremely big, but if using the actual radius of the bar the web of these joist come out reasonably sized.
I am wondering which one is the correct one or if both ways are possible. Can anyone help?
Thank You

Check if units are compatible.

to find the compressive resistance of the web member in compression. I think this is the right procedure, Please correct me if I am wrong. If right I will have to chech my math again.
Thank You.

Maybe I don't know what the procedure is, but when I have to verify the numbers coming from a manufacturer I refer to my Vulcraft Catalog:
htt
Check page 11 to 15 for the SJI design requirements for K series joists.
Hopefully this will help.

Perhaps the easiest would be to post your calculation for a typical web member. It is not difficult to check.
