"WC" Light Gaqge Metal Floor Joists

[msquared48]

I've scoured the web and my collection, and know that I have seen the specific joist tables in the past, but cannot find them for the life of me right now.

Anyone have a link to a manufacturer that used a specific "WC" designation (not CW) for light gage steel floor joists in the past? May be a defunct company - that would be my luck. Drawings that I am looking at are from 2003, and the joists are 8", 16 gage.

Well the attached is for studs not joists. But does have an 800 WC.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

Thanks Garth, but it looks like the joists shown have 2" flanges. The WC's shown on my plans have 1.625" flanges with a 3/8" return. Any load capacities would be too great. Thanks though.
