  2. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_web_steel_joist

    Steel joists and Joist Girders being erected. In structural engineering, the open web steel joist (OWSJ) is a lightweight steel truss consisting, in the standard form, of parallel chords and a triangulated web system, proportioned to span between bearing points. The main function of an OWSJ is to provide direct support for roof or floor deck ...

  3. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    In Canada, steel I-beams are now commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam in metric terms. For example, a "W250x33" beam is approximately 250 millimetres (9.8 in) in depth (height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the other flange) and weighs approximately 33 kg/m (22 lb/ft; 67 lb/yd).

  4. Castellated beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castellated_beam

    Castellated beam. A schematic representation of the production process of a castellated beam. A castellated beam is a beam style where an I-beam is subjected to a longitudinal cut along its web following a specific pattern. The purpose is to divide and reassemble the beam with a deeper web by taking advantage of the cutting pattern. [1]

  5. Joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joist

    Joist. A single floor or simple set of joists. If the joists land directly above the studs they are stacked. A joist is a horizontal structural member used in framing to span an open space, often between beams that subsequently transfer loads to vertical members. When incorporated into a floor framing system, joists serve to provide stiffness ...

    Stanley Macomber. Stanley Macomber (November 26, 1887 – May 15, 1967) was an American inventor. He designed and patented the open web joist floor system, and founded the Massillon Steel Joist Company of Massillon, Ohio, and the Macomber Steel Company of Canton, Ohio. [1] [2]

  7. Steel design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

    Canadian Institute of Steel Construction publishes the "CISC Handbook of steel Construction". CISC is a national industry organization representing the structural steel, open-web steel joist and steel plate fabrication industries in Canada. It serves the same purpose as the AISC manual, but conforms with Canadian standards.

  8. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    Beam (structure) A statically determinate beam, bending (sagging) under a uniformly distributed load. A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending ...

  9. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

    Open web trussed joists and rafters are often formed of 4 cm by 9 cm (two-by-four) wood members to provide support for floors, roofing systems and ceiling finishes. Platform framing was traditionally limited to four floors but some jurisdictions have modified their building codes to allow up to six floors with added fire protection. [32]
