Open Web Steel Joist Capacity
Open Web Steel Joist Capacity
(OP)
I have a project that I need to verify the load capacity of some existing open web steel roof joists. The building is 1979 vintage. The drawing shows the roof joists to be 26H7, with a span of 40 feet. I do have SJI's 50 year digest and other older steel joist manuals, however I am unable to find a capacity in the books I have. Any assistance would be appreciated.
