Historic Joist Designation
Historic Joist Designation
(OP)
I have an existing architectural drawing (c1960) with a joist designation of:
18 LA06
These joists are at 3'-0" on center spanning 23'-6"
The building is located in the northern part of New Jersey. Just went through SlideRuleEra's list of catelogs and couldn't find it.
Does anybody know what this designation is? The Architect got the other steel joist designations correct.
