GWS Joist Load Tables and Catalog

GWS Joist Load Tables and Catalog

(OP)
Hello

Does any one have the complete GWS OWSJ catalog (metric and imperial) that Can be sent to me?

I am working on an old building and the drawings show joitst with designations such as 14C10 owsj, 24F owsj, 60" deep owsj and 48" deep owsj.
I believe thay are GWS joists since the top and bottome chords are shown as hats. I am looking for the GWS joist load tables and section properties
Thanks

RE: GWS Joist Load Tables and Catalog

I have one copy of both imperial and metric GWS catalogs but I don't want to lose them. If you are unable to find a copy, I could post the pages you need. Also, do a search of the Eng_Tips Structural Forum using GWS as keyword.

A 14C10 is a 14" deep joist with Type C and B top and bottom chord respectively. I never did know what the 10 stood for. A 24F is 24" deep with F/E top/bottom chords.

A 60" or 48" deep OWSJ tells you nothing more than the overall depth.

Thanks BA
If you could post the pages for the 24F, 14C10 OWSJs, I will be very grateful

Please also post the pages for their 48" and 60" OWSJs

Thank you

RE: GWS Joist Load Tables and Catalog

resby,
The catalog has 35 pages with load tables up to 120'. I have included all the essential properties of the joists and load tables up to 30'. If you need more, let me know but I thought you should be able to calculate everything from the properties.

I have not included the metric tables. If you need these, I could provide them in a separate post.

JAE,
I haven't tried to include this in SlidRuleEra's page yet. Do you think this is enough or should the entire 35 pages be included?
