2. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_web_steel_joist

   The CJ-Series Joists are capable of supporting larger floor or roof loadings due to the attachment of the concrete slab to the top chord of the composite joist. Shear connection between the concrete slab and steel joist is typically made by the welding of shear studs through the steel deck to the underlying CJ-Series Composite Steel Joist. [2]

3. Portal frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_frame

   A portal frame steel building under construction. Portal frame is a construction technique where vertical supports are connected to horizontal beams or trusses via fixed joints with designed-in moment-resisting capacity. [1] The result is wide spans and open floors. Portal frame structures can be constructed using a variety of materials and ...

4. Staggered truss system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggered_truss_system

   The staggered truss system came about due to sponsored research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Departments of Architecture and Civil Engineering [1] in the 1960s by U.S. Steel. [2] The research attempted to achieve the same floor-to-floor height with steel as you could with flat plate concrete. [2]

5. Truss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

   The parallel chord truss, or flat truss, gets its name from its parallel top and bottom chords. It is often used for floor construction. A combination of the two is a truncated truss, used in hip roof construction. A metal plate-connected wood truss is a roof or floor truss whose wood members are connected with metal connector plates.

6. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

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

   Steel panels are popular roof coverings in some areas, preferred for their durability. Slate or tile roofs offer more historic coverings for light-frame roofs. Light-frame methods allow easy construction of unique roof designs; hip roofs, for example, slope toward walls on all sides and are joined at hip rafters that span from corners to a ridge.

7. Purlin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purlin

   In steel construction, the term purlin typically refers to roof framing members that span parallel to the building eave, [5] and support the roof decking or sheeting. The purlins are in turn supported by rafters or walls. Purlins are most commonly used in Steel Framed Building Systems, where Z-shapes are utilized in a manner that allows ...
