SJ 60L19 Steel Joist Load Table

[neffers]

Does anybody have any info for allowable loads for a SJ 60L19 steel joist? We have the SJI book with all the old load tables, but the L-series only goes to 48" depth.

There are 60DLJ19 and 60DLH19 joists. Are you sure they didn't just abbreviate the joist call-out?

Yeah...we saw those as well. The problem is the building is from the early 1950's and the DLJ load tables note early 1970's...so the timeline doesn't fit. Maybe we can take the allowable loads from those tables which are based on A36 steel and scale them down to A7 steel which is what the spec of the L series load tables are based upon? Essentially using (20 ksi/22 ksi) x Allowable Load?
