Design of Lateral Load Resisting Systems Using Open Web Steel Joists

The Steel Joist Institute presents “Design of Lateral Load Resisting Systems Using Open Web Steel Joists.” This webinar focuses on information provided in SJI’s Technical Digest No. 11, Design of Lateral Load Resisting Frames Using Steel Joists and Joist Girders. Topics include the key points when using open web steel joists and Joist Girders in lateral load resisting systems for wind seismic loads, as well as commonly used frames, diaphragms and bracing systems. It will also describe effective ways to communicate the design requirements to the joist manufacturer.
