Designing High-Performance Floors With Open Web Steel Joists
$0.00 – $25.00
Description
Open web steel joists are used in high-performance floors to achieve superior design characteristics with less weight, lower costs and lower carbon footprint than steel beams. In this webinar, you will learn how to design floors to leverage the advantages of open web steel joists for a better-performing finished building with:
- Lower weight and lower carbon footprint
- Lower floor-to-floor heights
- Improved floor vibration characteristics
- Flatter finished floors with more consistent concrete thickness
- Reduced cost
This webinar is provided by the Steel Joist Institute. Participants can earn 1.5 PDHs.
Learning Objectives
- Learn what spacings and depths work best for open web steel joists in floors.
- Learn how to decrease floor-to-floor height while increasing the joist depth.
- Learn the advantages of flush frame joists with bolted shear tab connections in floor construction.
- Learn to use SJI’s new Floor Bay Comparison Tool to view and compare performance and costs of different steel framing options.
