Steel Joist Design Calculation Report

This document summarizes the design of steel joists for a 30 foot span with a 4 foot joist spacing. Load combinations are analyzed using allowable stress design. The selected joist is an 18LH02 weighing 10 pounds per foot with a depth of 18 inches. Stress and deflection checks confirm the design total distributed load of 250 pounds per foot is less than the allowable of 367 pounds per foot, and the design live load deflection of 180 pounds per foot is less than the allowable of 212 pounds per foot. Construction notes provide additional specifications for the joist.

STEEL JOIST DESIGN (SJI)


In accordance with 43rd using the ASD design method
TEDDS calculation version 1.1.02

Joist Geometry
Span; L = 30 ft
Joist spacing; s = 4 ft
Loading details
Dead load; DL = 15 psf
Floor live load; LL = 30 psf
Snow load; SL = 30 psf
Maximum roof load; LLr_max = max(LLr, SL, RL) = 30 psf
From ASCE 7-10 cl.2.4.1 - Combining nominal loads using allowable stress design (Utilization)
Load combination no.1; DL ; (0.191)
Load combination no.2; DL + LL ; (0.518)
Load combination no.3; DL + (LLr or SL or RL) ; (0.518)
Load combination no.4; DL + 0.75LL + 0.75(LLr or SL or RL) ; (0.681)
Joist Properties
Joist designation; 18LH02
Joist weight; wjoist = 10 lb/ft
Joist depth; D = 18 in
Joist moment of Inertia; I = 26.767 ft 2/lb / 124  wDallow360  (L - 0.33 ft) 3  10-6 = 148.2 in4
Modulus of elasticity steel; ES = 29000000 psi
Stress Check
Design total distributed load; wTL = (DL + 0.75  LL + 0.75  LLr_max)  s + wjoist = 250 lb/ft
Allowable total distributed load; wTLallow = 367 lb/ft
Utilization ratio; wTL / wTLallow = 0.681
PASS - Design total distributed load is less than allowable load
Deflection Check (Unfactored loads)
Distributed load producing L/360 deflection; wDallow360 = 212 plf
Adjusted distributed load upper limit; wDallow_UL = 367 plf
Live load deflection limit; L / 360 = 1 in
Design distributed live load; wLLD = (0.75  LL + 0.75  LLr_max)  s = 180 lb/ft
Allowable distributed live load; wLLDallow = wDallow360 = 212 lb/ft
Utilization ratio; wLLD / wLLDallow = 0.849
PASS - Design live load deflection is less than allowable
Joist construction notes
- Joist weight is 10 pounds per foot
- Approximate joist camber is 0.375 in
- The maximum spacing of lines of top chord bridging is 10 ft
- Joist seat depth is 5 in
- Minimum end bearing length on masonry is 6 in
- Minimum end bearing length on steel is 2.5 in
