STEEL JOIST INSTITUTE

1965
Development of a single specification for both the J- and HSeries Joists by the Steel Joist Institute and the American
Institute of Steel Construction.

INTRODUCTION

HISTORY
Formed five years after the first open web steel joist was manufactured, the Institute has worked since 1928 to maintain
sound engineering practice throughout our industry. As a
non-profit organization of active manufacturers, the Institute
cooperates with governmental and business agencies to
establish steel joist standards. Continuing research and
updating are included in its work.

1966
Development and introduction by the SJI and AISC of the
LJ-Series Joists, which replaced the LA-Series Joists. Also,
the development of a single specification for both the LJand the LH-Series Joists, with the use of 36,000 psi minimum yield strength steel for the LJ-Series, and 36,000 psi to
50,000 psi minimum yield strength steel for the LH-Series.

The first joist in 1923 was a Warren truss type, with top and
bottom chords of round bars and a web formed from a single
continuous bent bar. Various other types were developed, but
problems also followed because each manufacturer had their
own design and fabrication standards. Architects, engineers
and builders found it difficult to compare rated capacities and
to use fully the economies of steel joist construction.

1970
Introduction of the DLJ- and DLH-Series Joists to include
depths through 72 inches and spans through 144 feet.
1971
Elimination of chord section number 2 and the addition of
joist designations 8J3 and 8H3 to the load tables.

Members of the industry began to organize the Institute, and


in 1928 the first standard specifications were adopted, followed in 1929 by the first load table. The joists covered by
these early standards were later identified as open web
steel joists, SJ-Series.

1972
(a) Adoption by the SJI and AISC of a single specification
for the LJ-, LH-, DLJ-, and DLH-Series Joists.
(b) Adoption by the SJI and AISC of the expanded specifications and load tables for Open Web Steel Joists with
increased depths through 30 inches, and spans through
60 feet, plus adding chord section numbers 9, 10 and 11.

Other landmark adoptions by the Institute include the following:


1953
Introduction of Longspan Steel Joists, L-Series.
Specifications and a standard load table, covering spans
through 96 feet and depths through 48 inches, were jointly
approved with the American Institute of Steel Construction.

1978
(a) Elimination of the J-, LJ-, and DLJ-Series Joists because
of the widespread acceptance of high strength steel
joists.

1959
Introduction of the S-Series Joists, which replaced the SJSeries Joists. The allowable tensile stress was increased
from 18,000 to 20,000 psi, joist depths were expanded
through 24 inches, and spans increased through 48 feet.

(b) Introduction of Joist Girders, complete with specifications and weight tables, in response to the growing need
for longer span primary structural members with highly
efficient use of steel.

1961
(a) Introduction of the J-Series Joists, which replaced the
S-Series Joists. The allowable tensile stress was increased
from 20,000 psi to 22,000 psi, based on the use of steel with
a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi.

1986
Introduction of the K-Series Joists, which replaced the HSeries Joists. The reasons for developing the K-Series Joists
were: (1) to achieve greater economies by utilizing the Load
Span design concept; (2) to meet the demand for roofs with
lighter loads at depths from 18 inches to 30 inches; (3) to offer
joists whose load carrying capacities at frequently used spans
are those most commonly required; (4) to eliminate the very
heavy joists in medium depths for which there was little, if any,
demand.

(b) Introduction of the LA-Series Joists, which replaced the


L-Series Joists. The LA-Series Joists were designed to a
maximum tensile stress of either 20,000 psi or 22,000 psi,
depending on the yield strength of the steel.
(c) Introduction of the H-Series Joists, whose design was
based on steel with a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi,
and an allowable tensile stress of 30,000 psi.

1994
(a) Introduction of the KCS Joists as a part of the K-Series
Specification in response to the need for a joist with a
constant moment and constant shear. The KCS Joist is
an economical alternative joist that may be specified for
special loading situations.

1962
Introduction of the LH-Series Joists, utilizing steel whose minimum yield strength was between 36,000 psi and 50,000 psi
and an allowable tensile strength of 22,000 psi to 30,000 psi.

STEEL JOIST INSTITUTE

(b) Addition of metric nomenclature for all Joist and Joist


Girder Series in compliance with government and industry
standards.

Open to manufacturers who produce, on a continuing basis,


joists of the K-, LH-, DLH-, CJ-Series and/or Joist Girders,
conforming to the Institute's Specifications and Load Tables
or Weight Tables and/or Bridging Tables as appropriate.

(c) Addition of revised stability criteria.


2002
(a) Introduction of Joist Substitutes, K-Series.
(b) K-Series, LH- and DLH- Series and Joist Girder
Specifications approved as American National
Standards (ANSI).

APPLICANTS BASED ON K-SERIES JOISTS


The Institute's Consulting Engineer checks to see that
designs conform to the Institute's Specifications and Load
Tables. This comprises an examination of: (1) Complete
engineering design details and calculations of all K-Series
Joists, bridging and accessories for which standards have
been adopted; (2) Data obtained from physical tests of a
limited number of joists, conducted by an independent laboratory, to verify conclusions from analysis of the applicant's
engineering design details and calculations.

(c) Revisions to K-Series Section 6, LH- and DLH-Series


Section 105, and Recommended Code of Standard
Practice for conformance to OSHA Steel Erection
Standard 1926.757.
(d) Addition of Standing Seam Roof requirements to the KSeries Specification Section 5.8(g) and the LH- and
DLH-Series Specification Section 104.9(g).

An initial plant inspection and subsequent biennial inspections are required to ensure that the applicant/member possesses the facilities, equipment and personnel required to
properly fabricate the K-Series Joists.

(e) Addition of Definition for Parallel Chord Sloped Joists


K-Series Section 5.13 and LH-Series Section 104.14.
2005
(a) Major revision of K-Series, LH- and DLH-Series and
Joist Girder Specifications to allow the design of joists
and Joist Girders to be either in accordance with Load
and Resistance Factor design (LRFD) or Allowable
Strength Design (ASD).

APPLICANTS BASED ON LH- OR DLH-SERIES OR CJSERIES JOISTS OR JOIST GIRDERS

(b) Major revision of K-Series and LH- and DLH-Series Load


Tables to be in both LRFD and ASD.

No. 3 Structural Design of Steel Joist Roofs to Resist


Ponding Loads (2007)

All Composite Steel Joists are fabricated with special camber. CJ-Series joists act as pinned-pinned members when
fabricated with the typical under-slung bearing seats.
Minimum camber is typically equal to the anticipated deflection resulting from the dead load of the joist, metal deck, and
concrete slab.

5. Composite Steel Joists are more efficient allowing a


reduction in the joist weight for any given joist depth.
Lighter weight joists translate into potentially lighter
weight columns and reduced foundation costs.

INTRODUCTION TO CJ-SERIES
Joist Girders (2001)
Open Web Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series are light
weight, shop-manufactured steel trusses. Composite Steel
Joists are used to directly support floor or roof slabs or
decks between walls, beams, and main structural members.

6. Live load deflections are significantly reduced. With


the overlying concrete slab locked to the steel joist,
the resulting composite action provides a stiffer floor
system.

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 ranging in diameter from 3/8
inch (10 mm) to 3/4 inch (19 mm) thru the steel deck to the
underlying CJ-Series Composite Steel Joist.

7. Efficient erection of the CJ-Series joist system


reduces construction time and permits early occu-

pancy of the building. Wider joist spacing reduces the
number of joists to be erected and fireproofed.
Composite Steel Joists can be furnished with either underslung or square ends, with parallel chords.

The composite joist designation is determined by its nominal


depth, the letters CJ, followed by the total uniform composite load, uniform composite live load, and finally the uni-

FIG. 2-CEILING EXTENSION

Standard joists, including CJ-Series, are not designed for


localized bending from point loads. Concentrated loads
must be applied at joist panel points or field strut members
must be utilized as shown.
Joist manufacturers can provide a specially designed joist with
the capability to take point loads without the added members
if this requirement and the exact location and magnitude of the
loads are clearly shown on the contract drawings. Also, the
manufacturer can consider the worst case for both the shear
and bending moment for a traveling load with no specific location. When a traveling load is specified, the contract drawings
should indicate whether the load is to be applied at the top or
bottom chord, and at any panel point, or at any point with the
local bending effects considered.

location to provide additional lateral erection stability.

The weight of walls, signage, fascia, etc. supported at the end


of a cantilever square end must be shown on the contract
drawings to be properly considered in the joist design.

FOR COMPOSITE STEEL JOISTS, CJ-SERIES
Adopted by the Steel Joist Institute May 10, 2006
- Effective May 10, 2006

SECTION 100.

SECTION 102.

SCOPE

MATERIALS
102.1 STEEL CHORD and WEB MEMBERS

This specification covers the Load and Resistance Factor


Design (LRFD), manufacture, and use of simply-supported
Open Web Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series.

(a) Specifications
The steel used in the manufacture of chord and web sections shall conform to one of the following ASTM
Specifications of latest adoption:

SECTION 101.

Carbon Structural Steel, ASTM A36/A36M.

DEFINITION

High-Strength, Low-Alloy Structural Steel, ASTM


A242/A242M.

The term Composite Steel Joists, as used herein, refers to


open web, parallel chord, load-carrying members suitable for
direct support of one-way floor or roof systems. Members
may consist of hot-rolled or cold-formed steel, including
cold-formed steel whose yield strength* has been attained
by cold working. Shear connection between the joist top
chord and overlying concrete slab allows the steel joist and
slab to act together as an integral unit after the concrete has
adequately cured.

High-Strength Carbon-Manganese Steel of Structural


Quality ASTM A529/A529M, Grade 50.
High-Strength Low-Alloy Columbium-Vanadium
Structural Steel, ASTM A572/A572M Grade 42 or 50.

Steel, Sheet and Strip, High-Strength, Low-Alloy, HotRolled and Cold-Rolled, with Improved Atmospheric
Corrosion Resistance, ASTM A606.

The design of CJ-Series joist chord sections shall be based


on a yield strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa). Web sections shall
be based on a yield strength of at least 36 ksi (250 MPa), but
not greater than 50 ksi (345 MPa). Steel used for CJ-Series
joist chord or web sections shall have a minimum yield
strength determined in accordance with one of the procedures specified in Section 102.1(b), which is equal to the
yield strength assumed in the design.

Steel, Sheet, Cold-Rolled, Carbon, Structural, HighStrength Low-Alloy and High-Strength Low-Alloy with
Improved Formability, ASTM A1008/A1008M.
Steel, Sheet and Strip, Hot-Rolled, Carbon, Structural,
High-Strength Low-Alloy and High-Strength Low-Alloy
with Improved Formability, ASTM A1011/A1011M.
or shall be of suitable quality ordered or produced to
other than the listed specifications, provided that such
material in the state used for final assembly and manufacture is weldable and is proved by tests performed by
the producer or manufacturer to have the properties
specified in Section 102.1(b).

Composite Steel Joists shall be designed in accordance with


these specifications to support the loads defined by the
specifying professional.
* The term Yield Strength as used herein shall designate the yield level of a material as determined by the
applicable method outlined in ASTM A 370, Standard
Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing
of Steel Products, paragraph 13.1 Yield Point, and
in paragraph 13.2 Yield Strength, or as specified in
Section 102.1(b) of this Specification.

(b) Mechanical Properties


The yield strength used as a basis for the design stresses prescribed in Section 103 shall be at least 36 ksi (250
MPa), but not greater than 50 ksi (345 MPa). Evidence
that the steel furnished meets or exceeds the design
yield strength shall, if requested, be provided in the form
of an affidavit, or by witnessed or certified test reports.
For material used without consideration of increase in
yield strength resulting from cold forming, the specimens
shall be taken from as-rolled material. In the case of
material with mechanical properties that conform to the
requirements of one of the listed specifications, the test
specimens and procedures shall conform to those of

Standard Specifications for Composite Steel Joists,

the member force but not less than 50 percent of the
nominal member strength. Members containing a butt
weld splice shall develop an ultimate tensile force of at
least 57 ksi (390 MPa) times the full design area of the
chord or web. The term member shall be defined as
all component parts, comprising the chord or web, at
the point of splice.

Design of concrete reinforcing steel in the negative


moment region shall be the responsibility of the specifying
professional.

ERECTION STABILITY
AND HANDLING

a. Hoisting cables shall not be released until the two


rows of bolted diagonal erection bridging are
installed and anchored; and
b. No more than two employees shall be allowed on
these spans until all other bridging is installed and
anchored.

105.1 Joist Erection


When it is necessary for the erector to climb on the composite
steel joists, extreme caution must be exercised since
unbridged joists may exhibit some degree of instability under
the erectors weight.

(5) Where the span of the composite steel joist requires


all lines of bridging to be bolted diagonal erection
bridging as indicated on the joist placement plans,
the following shall apply:

* For a thorough coverage of this topic, refer to Steel


Joist Institute Technical Digest #9, Handling and
Erection of Steel Joists and Joist Girders.

a. Hoisting cables shall not be released until all bridging is installed and anchored; and

(a) Erection Stability

b. No more than two employees shall be allowed on


these spans until all other bridging is installed and
anchored.

Joist erection bridging requirements shall be determined


by the joist manufacturer and indicated on the joist placement plans.

(6) When permanent bridging terminus points can not be


used during erection, additional temporary bridging
terminus points are required to provide lateral stability.

CJ-SERIES SPECIFICATIONS

(b) Stability Requirements during Joist Erection


(1) Before an employee is allowed on the composite
steel joist: BOTH ends of composite joists at columns
(or composite joists designated as column joists)
shall be attached to its supports. For all other composite joists a minimum of one end shall be attached
before the employee is allowed on the composite
joist. The attachment shall be in accordance with
Section 104.7- End Anchorage.

(7) In the case of bottom chord bearing joists, the ends of


the composite joist must be restrained laterally per
Section 104.5(g) before releasing the hoisting cables.
(8) After the composite steel joist is straightened and
plumbed, and all bridging is completely installed and
anchored, the ends of the joists shall be fully connected to the supports in accordance with Section
104.7- End Anchorage.

When a bolted seat connection is used for erection


purposes, as a minimum, the bolts must be snug
tightened. The snug tight condition is defined as the
tightness that exists when all plies of a joint are in
firm contact. This may be attained by a few impacts
of an impact wrench or the full effort of an employee
using an ordinary spud wrench.

(c) Landing and Placing Loads


(1) Except as stated in paragraph 105(c)(3) of this section,
no Construction Loads are allowed on the Composite
Steel Joists until all bridging is installed and anchored,
and all joist bearing ends are attached. Construction
Loads (for joist erection) means any load other than
the weight of the employee(s), the joists, and the
bridging bundle(s).

(2) On composite steel joists that do not require erection


bridging as shown on the joist placement plans, only
one employee shall be allowed on the composite joist
unless all bridging is installed and anchored.

(2) During the construction period, loads placed on the


Composite Steel Joists shall be distributed so as not
to exceed the non-composite capacity of the composite steel joists.

(3) Where the span of the composite steel joist requires


one line of bolted diagonal erection bridging nearest
the mid-span of the joist, as indicated on the joist
placement plans, the following shall apply:

(3) No bundle of deck may be placed on Composite


Steel Joists until all bridging has been installed and
anchored and all composite steel joist bearing ends
attached, unless the following conditions are met:

a. Hoisting cables shall not be released until the row of


bolted diagonal erection bridging is installed and
anchored, unless an alternate method of stabilizing
the composite steel joist has been provided; and

a. The contractor has first determined from a qualified


person and documented in a site specific erection
plan that the structure or portion of structure is
capable of supporting the load. A qualified person
means one who, by possession of a recognized
degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who
by extensive knowledge, training, and experience,

b. No more than one employee shall be allowed on


these spans until all bridging is installed and
anchored.
(4) Where the span of the Composite Steel Joist requires
two lines of bolted diagonal erection bridging nearest

points of zero moment, unless otherwise specified.


However the number of shear connectors placed
between any concentrated load and the nearest point of

Responsibility of the Specifying Professional


cable code under which the structure is designed.

SJI member companies have developed computer programs


to provide composite steel joist designs quickly and efficiently.
To do this, some basic information must be provided to the
manufacturer. The following list summarizes the needed
information from the Specifying Professional:

9) Camber:
The load to be used to calculate the camber must be
specified.

1) Joist Depth:
The joist depth must be provided in inches (mm). This
depth includes the steel joist portion only, not the deck slab.

The Composite Joist Floor Design Parameters Checklist that


can be found in the Code of Standard Practice for
Composite Steel Joists, includes a form for filling in the
above information.

2) Joist Span:
The joist span must be given in feet (mm). The span is
from the centerline of the supporting joist girder (structural steel) to the centerline of the opposite supporting
joist girder (structural steel). In the case of masonry
and/or concrete walls, span is measured from the inside
face of walls plus 8 inches (203 mm). For more information on span see the Standard Specifications for
Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, Section 104.2.

Composite steel joists have some limitations that the


Specifying Professional must be aware of.
These include:
(a) Parallel top and bottom chords.
(b) The minimum and maximum deck heights are 1 inch
(25 mm) and 3 inches (76 mm), respectively.
(c) The minimum slab thickness above the top of the deck
must be 2 inches (51 mm).

The distance in feet (mm) to the adjacent member or to
the edge of the slab (if an exterior joist) must be provided.

(d) Shear studs must have at least 1/2 inch (13 mm) of
concrete cover.

4) Type of Floor Deck:


Review each deck manufacturers deck load capacity
and deflection characteristics and specify the deck
depth, profile, and thickness to meet the building design.

(e) The concrete shall be placed to provide a constant


thickness along the entire span.
Provisions for field inspection of projects involving composite
steel joists shall be made by the Specifying Professional. This
inspection shall include, as a minimum, verifying the concrete
strength, concrete thickness, and shear stud attachment and
placement. For more information on shear stud placement and
welding see the Standard Specifications for Composite Steel
Joists, CJ-Series, Section 106.

5) Concrete Unit Weight:


The unit weight in pcf (kg/m3) must be indicated.
6) Concrete Compressive Strength:
The 28 day specified compressive strength of concrete
in ksi (MPa) must be provided.

This inspection will not be provided by SJI member manufacturers.

7) Slab Thickness above Floor Deck:


The actual slab thickness in inches (mm) above the top
of the deck must be indicated.
8) Composite Design Loads:
The loads which must be specified are as follows:

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
SPECIFYING PROFESSIONAL

a) Noncomposite DL:
Concrete, joists, deck, bridging, and any other noncomposite dead loads.
b) Construction LL:
A suggested minimum construction live load calculation can be found in the COSP for Composite Steel
Joists, SJI Composite Joist Floor Design Parameters

SJI COMPOSITE STEEL JOIST WEIGHT TABLES


A description of the terms and abbreviations used in the
weight tables is provided below:

The following tables may be used as a guide to assist with


preliminary designs for floor and roof construction utilizing
composite steel joists. These weight tables only apply to
uniformly loaded composite steel joists with parallel chords.
The top chords are considered as laterally supported by the
structural deck and slab. The tables are applicable for normal
weight concrete with a unit weight of 145 pcf (2350 kg/m3)
and lightweight concrete with an assumed unit weight of 110
pcf (1800 kg/m3) and based on a steel yield strength of 50
ksi (345 MPa). Concrete strength listed in the weight tables
can vary from 3 5 ksi (20.7 34.5 MPa), with the higher
concrete strength required for longer joist spans. The tables
also include a provision based on a one-half span live load
condition.

tc

= Thickness of concrete above the top of the deck,


in. (mm)

hr

= Nominal deck rib height, in. (mm)

Js

= Joist spacing, ft. (m)

TL

= Total factored uniform load applied to the


composite steel joist, plf (kN/m).

Wt

= Weight of composite steel joist, plf (kN/m).

W360 = Composite load, plf (kN/m) applied after the


concrete has cured that produces an
approximate deflection of 1/360 of the span.

The first row of figures for each joist depth, denoted as Wt,
gives the approximate weight of the composite steel joists in
pounds per linear foot, plf (kilonewtons per meter, kN/m).
These weights do not include accessories or bridging.

N-ds = Number of shear studs required/span diameter


of shear stud.
Ieff

= Composite moment of inertia, in.4 (mm4)

The shaded areas of the weight tables indicate the different


seat depths, where the blue shaded area represents a 2 1/2 in.
seat; white a 5 in. seat; and green a 7 1/2 in. seat. These seat
depths are based on the following criteria:

The second row, noted as W360 are the composite live loads
in pounds per linear foot, plf (kilonewtons per meter, kN/m) of
joist which will produce an approximate composite deflection of
1/360 of the span. Live loads which will produce a composite
deflection other than 1/360 of the span may be obtained by
using the W360 figures. For example, to obtain the load for a
deflection of 1/480 of the span, W480 = W360 x (360/480).

2 1/2 inches:
Where round web end bars are used and the top chord
vertical angle leg is less than or equal to 2 inches.

The third row denoted as N-ds lists the quantity and diameter of welded shear studs required per joist to carry the indicated Total Factored Uniformly Distributed Load. The installed
shear stud length in inches is assumed to be equal to the deck
height, in., + concrete thickness, in., above the deck 1/2 inch
(the stud length in millimeters is assumed to be equal to the
deck height, mm, + concrete thickness, mm, above the deck
13 mm). When determining the quantity of shear studs listed
in the following tables, all studs are assumed to be installed in
the weak position as shown in Figure 16.

5 inches:
Where the top chord vertical angle leg is greater than
2 inches, but less than 3 1/2 inches.
7 1/2 inches:
Where the top chord vertical angle leg is greater than
or equal to 3 1/2 inches.
There are many design combinations and criteria that need to
be considered for the proper design of a composite steel joist
such as joist depth, span and spacing, deck type and thickness, concrete strength, concrete unit weight, shear stud diameter, shear stud length, deflection limitations, minimum duct
size openings, panel layouts, UL fire rating, etc. The SJI
Composite Joist Floor Design Parameters Checklist contained
in the Code of Standard Practice for Composite Steel Joists
and the Responsibility of the Specifying Professional may be
used to help tailor your design to a specific project.

The fourth row noted as Ieff lists the effective moment of


inertia for the joist that will allow the Specifying Professional
to determine the deflection under composite loading.

diagonal horizontal force.

The following tables may be used as a guide to determine


the size and number of rows of bridging. These bridging
tables only apply to uniformly loaded composite steel joists
with
parallel
chords.
The top chords are considered as laterally supported by the
structural
deck
and
slab.
The tables are applicable for normal weight concrete with a
unit weight of 145 pcf (2350 kg/m3) and lightweight concrete
with a unit weight of 110 pcf (1800 kg/m3) and based on a
steel yield strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa). Concrete strength
listed in the bridging tables can vary from 3 5 ksi (20.7
34.5 MPa), with the higher concrete strength required for
longer joist spans.

The second row lists the minimum bolted diagonal bridging


size for the joist spacing indicated.
The third row lists the minimum horizontal bridging size for
the joist spacing indicated.
The fourth row denoted as INon-comp eff lists the non-composite moment of inertia for the joist that will allow the
Specifying Professional to determine the deflection under
non-composite loading.
A description of the terms and abbreviations used in the
bridging tables is provided below:
Pbr

The first row of figures for each joist depth, denoted as Pbr,
lbs (N) gives the nominal horizontal force to resist the top
chord. See Section 104.5(e) for more information. Use 1/4
of the Pbr force shown in the tables to calculate the bolted

= Nominal horizontal top chord force, lbs (N)

INon-comp eff = Non-composite moment of inertia, in.4 (mm4)


At least one row of top and bottom chord bridging is required

COMPOSITE JOIST DESIGN EXAMPLE 1


UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOADING

1When

estimating construction live loading on a composite steel joist it is suggested that the
construction live loading be adjusted for tributary area as follows:
For U.S. Customary units
Lc = 20R1 where 12 Lc 20, lb/ft.2

(EX1)

R1 = 1

for At 200 ft.2

R1 = 1.2 0.001At

for 200 ft.2 < At < 600 ft.2

R1 = 0.6

for At 600 ft.2

Where:
Lc = Construction live load (reduced)
At = Tributary floor area over one joist supporting the construction live load, ft.2 (m2)
For Metric units
Lc = 0.96R1 where 0.58 Lc 0.96, kN/m2
R1 = 1

for At 18.58 m2

R1 = 1.2 0.01076At

for 18.58 m2 < At < 55.74 m2

R1 = 0.6

for At 55.74 m2

Lconst = 20 psf

(0.96 kPa)

At = 50 ft. x 10 ft. = 500 ft.2

(46.45 m2)

R1 = 0.70
Therefore, from Equation EX1 (EX2), Lc = 20 psf x 0.70 = 14 psf

(0.67 kPa)

Live Loading is allowed to be reduced per ASCE 7-05, Section 4.8 as long as the specified provisions are met.
For U.S. Customary units
Lc = L0

L = Reduced design live load per ft.2 (m2) of area supported by joist
Lo = Unreduced design live load per ft.2 (m2) of area supported by joist
(see ASCE 7-05, Table 4-1)
KLL = Live load element factor (see ASCE 7-05, Table 4-2)
AT = Tributary area in ft.2 (m2)

KLL AT = 2 x 500 ft.2 = 1000 ft.2
Since KLL AT > 400 ft.2 (37.16 m2), the joist is permitted to be designed for a reduced live load
according to Equation EX3 (EX4).

-4.5 in. (114 mm) Slab depth
-5.5 in. (140 mm) Ceiling to bottom chord
32 in. (813 mm) Joist depth
JOIST SELECTION:

Choose the column in the table that is equal to or greater than the calculated total safe factored
uniformly distributed load and a row where: (1) the joist depth does not exceed the allowable depth,
and (2) the least weight per foot. The joist spacing, Js in the column selected should be less than
or equal to the actual spacing of the joists. However, should the joist spacing be less than the Js
value chosen, then the concrete capacity would need to be checked, since it would likely have a
lower W360 value and a lower total load carrying capacity. The SJI Composite Joist Floor
Design Parameters Checklist found in the Code of Standard Practice for Composite Steel
Joists
needs
to
be
filled
out.
This information should be forwarded to a Steel Joist Institute member company requesting that a
composite joist design be checked.
In this example choose the column headed by total factored load of 2200 plf (32.11 kN/m) and the
30 inch (762 mm) joist depth row (Note: The 30 inch joist depth was selected over the allowable
32 inch joist depth for three reasons: (1) the 30 inch joist weight per foot was less than the 32 inch
joist and the number of shear studs was the same for both the 30 and 32 inch joist depths; (2) the
composite live load is greater than what is required; and (3) the 30 inch deep joist will allow more
available space beneath the joist for mechanicals, light fixtures, etc.).

BRIDGING AND NOMINAL HORIZONTAL TOP CHORD FORCE (Pbr) SELECTION:


From the Design Guide LRFD Weight Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal
Weight Concrete, use the same column and row selection for the joist selection (2200 plf; 30 inch
joist depth) and determine the number of rows and type of bridging:

The proper joist shall be selected from the Design Guide LRFD Weight Table for Composite

design load of 2188 plf (31.93 kN/m) and composite live load of 1168 plf (17.05 kN/m).

COMPOSITE JOIST DESIGN EXAMPLE 1


UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOADING

For this example, two rows of horizontal bridging (2H) are required.
For the bridging member size(s) and the nominal horizontal top chord force go to the Design
Guide LRFD Bridging Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal Weight Concrete
and choose the column at or nearest the actual joist spacing and the joist depth row based on the
joist selection above (Note: This approach is conservative since the nominal horizontal top chord
force, Pbr will be larger than the actual top chord force, but since the bridging size is also based
on the length of bridging, the distance nearest the actual spacing of the joists needs to be considered to size the bridging. This is an estimate and the actual size of the bridging may change when
the final design is performed by the joist manufacturer).
For this example, choose the column with Js = 10 feet and the row for a 30 inch deep joist. The
bridging size is L2.5 x 2.5 x 0.187 and the nominal horizontal top chord force, Pbr is 1423 lbs (Note:
The nominal horizontal top chord force is used to determine the connection for the termination of
the bridging row).

To determine the Non-composite Effective Moment of Inertia of the joist go to the Design Guide

To determine the Effective Moment of Inertia of the joist go to the Design Guide LRFD Weight
Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal Weight Concrete and choose the same
column and row used in making the joist selection.
For this example, use the column labeled 2200 plf and the row labeled 30 inch joist depth.
Ieff = 3596 in.4 (14.97 x 108 mm4)
The published value of W360 takes into account the reductions in effective transformed moment of
inertia associated with web deformations and interfacial slippage. Therefore, the above value of Ieff,
has been reduced to account for these behaviors. In deriving W360, an interfacial slippage factor of
1.05 was assumed.
Therefore, taking out this effect, Ie composite without slippage can be given as:
Ie composite without slippage = 1.05 Ieff = 1.05 (3596 in.4) = 3776 in.4 (15.72 x 108 mm4)

= 8.4 kips x 1000 = 8400 lbs (37.3kN)

Calculate maximum moment and its position along the joist


The point of maximum moment is the point of zero shear.
Calculate this point, L0, as follows:
RA = 1644 plf x 40 ft./2 + 8400 lbs x (40 14)/40 = 38,340 lbs (170.4 kN)
L0 = (38,340 lbs 8400 lbs)/1644 plf = 18.2 ft. (5.55 m)
Thus the maximum moment is:
Mf = 1644 plf x 18.2 ft. x (40 ft. 18.2 ft.)/2 + 8400 lbs x 14 ft./ x (40 18.2)/40
= 390,229 ft.- lbs (528.9kN - m)

inches (660 mm), normal weight concrete and a total factored composite design load of 1951 plf
(28.45 kN/m) and composite live load of 960 plf (14.00 kN/m).
Choose the column in the table that is equal to or greater than the calculated total safe factored uniformly distributed load and for the corresponding joist depth. The joist spacing, Js in the column
selected should be less than or equal to the actual spacing of the joists. However, should the joist
spacing be less than the Js value chosen, then the concrete capacity would need to be checked,
since it would likely have a lower W360 value and a lower total load carrying capacity. The SJI
Composite Joist Floor Design Parameters Checklist found in the Code of Standard Practice
for Composite Steel Joists needs to be filled out. This information should be forwarded to a Steel
Joist Institute member company requesting that a composite joist design be checked.
In this example choose the column headed by total factored load of 2000 plf (29.16 kN/m) and the
26 inch (660 mm) joist depth row.
Wt

= 24.0 plf (35.7 kg/m)

W360 = 1280 plf (18.66 kN/m) > 600 plf (8.75 kN/m)
N-ds

= 40 5/8 in. (16 mm)

The joist spacing (6 ft.) in this example is less than the value in the table (7 ft.).
Therefore, the concrete capacity should normally be checked and the W360 value could be less
than the tabulated value. However, the concrete slab compressive failure does not govern in general and as shown above, W360 tabulated value far exceeds the required criterion. For the purpose of the example, it is assumed that the concrete slab capacity is OK.
Because of the presence of a concentrated load, spacing of the shear studs may vary over part of
the member. The number of studs will be calculated between the point of zero moment and its
adjacent point of concentrated load. The rest of the shear studs will be distributed between the
point of maximum moment (L0) and the point of concentrated load, also considering the maximum
spacing of the shear studs.

Span x Quantity from Weight Table


Total number of shear studs =
2 x Min (L0, Span L0)
For this example,


40 x 40
Total number of shear studs =
= 44.0
2 x Min (18.2, 40 18.2)
Therefore, use 44 studs.

DESIGN EXAMPLE 2
SPECIAL LOADINGS

For estimating purposes only, the total number of shear studs may be adjusted for special loadings
as follows:

COMPOSITE JOIST DESIGN EXAMPLE 2


SPECIAL LOADINGS

BRIDGING AND NOMINAL HORIZONTAL TOP CHORD FORCE (Pbr) SELECTION:


From the Design Guide LRFD Weight Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal
Weight Concrete, use the same column and row selection for the joist selection (2000 plf; 26 inch
joist depth) and determine the number of rows and type of bridging:
For this example two rows of horizontal bridging (2H) are required.
For the bridging member size(s) and the nominal horizontal top chord force go to the Design
Guide LRFD Bridging Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal Weight Concrete
and choose the column at or nearest the actual joist spacing and the joist depth row based on the
joist selection above (Note: This approach is conservative since the nominal horizontal top chord
force, Pbr will be larger than the actual top chord force, but since the bridging size is also based
on the length of bridging, the distance nearest the actual spacing of the joists needs to be considered to size the bridging. This is an estimate and the actual size of the bridging may change when
the final design is performed by the joist manufacturer).
For this example the size of the bridging and the Pbr force can be selected for the 7 ft. spacing,
because the joist spacing is less than the tabulated value for 2000 plf (29.16 kN/m). The bridging
size is L1.5 x 1.5 x 0.138 and the nominal horizontal top chord force, Pbr is 750 lbs (Note: The
nominal horizontal top chord force is used to determine the connection for the termination of the
bridging row).
NON-COMPOSITE EFFECTIVE MOMENT of INERTIA SELECTION:
To determine the Non-composite Effective Moment of Inertia of the joist go to the Design Guide
LRFD Bridging Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal Weight Concrete and
choose the same column and row used in making the joist selection.
For this example, use the column labeled 2000 plf and the row labeled 26 inch joist depth.

EFFECTIVE MOMENT of INERTIA SELECTION:


To determine the Effective Moment of Inertia of the joist go to the Design Guide LRFD Weight
Table for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series Normal Weight Concrete and choose the same
column and row used in making the joist selection.
For this example, use the column labeled 2000 plf and the row labeled 26 inch joist depth.
Ieff = 1910 in.4 (7.95 x 108 mm4)
The published value of W360 takes into account the reductions in effective transformed moment of
inertia associated with web deformations and interfacial slippage. Therefore, the above value of Ieff,
has been reduced to account for these behaviors. In deriving W360, an interfacial slippage factor of
1.05 was assumed.
Therefore, taking out this effect, Ie composite without slippage can be given as:
Ie composite without slippage = 1.05 Ieff = 1.05 (1910 in.4) = 2006 in.4 (8.35 x 108 mm4)

COMPOSITE JOISTS
AND ACCESSORIES

2.5 BRIDGING AND BRIDGING ANCHORS


(a) Bridging standard with the manufacturer and complying
with the applicable Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of
latest adoption shall be used for bridging all joists furnished by the manufacturer. Positive anchorage shall be
provided at the ends of each bridging row at both top and
bottom chords.

2.1 COMPOSITE STEEL JOISTS


Composite steel joists shall carry the loads and meet the
requirements of the Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest
adoption.

(b) Diagonal cross bridging consisting of angles or other


shapes connected to the top and bottom chords, of CJSeries joists shall be used when required by the Steel
Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite
Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption.

CJ-Series joists are furnished with parallel chords only, and


with minimum standard end bearing depth of 2 1/2 inches
(64 mm). CJ-Series joists may be furnished with either
underslung or square ends.

Diagonal bridging, when used, shall have a l/r ratio not


exceeding 200.

2.2 JOIST LOCATION AND SPACING


The maximum joist spacing shall be in accordance with the
requirements of Section 104.8, Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest
adoption.

(c) For the CJ-Series joists, horizontal bridging is recommended for spans up to and including 60 feet (18.3 m)
except where code requirements for erection stability
and/or the Steel Joist Institute Specifications require
bolted diagonal bridging.

Where sidewalls, wall beams or tie beams are capable of supporting the floor slab or roof deck, the first adjacent composite
steel joists may be placed one full space from these members.
CJ-Series joists are provided with camber. These joists may
have a significant difference in elevation with respect to the
adjacent structure because of this camber. This difference in
elevation should be given consideration when locating the first
composite steel joist adjacent to a sidewall, wall beam or tie
beam. Therefore, it is recommended that this joist be located
one full space away from these members.

CJ-Series joists, exceeding 60 feet (18.3 m) in length shall


have bolted diagonal bridging for all rows.
Refer to Section 105 in the Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of
latest adoption for erection stability requirements.
Refer to OSHA Safety Standards for Steel Erection, 29
CFR 1926.757 Open Web Steel Joists for erection
stability requirements.

Where load bearing partitions occur parallel to joists, joists are


generally placed under each such partition, and more than one
such joist shall be provided if necessary to safely support the
weight of such partition and the adjacent floor, less the live
load, on a strip of floor one foot (0.305 m) in width.
Where partitions occur perpendicular to the joists, they shall
be treated as concentrated loads in accordance with Section
6.1.

Note: The requirements as per OSHA also apply for composite steel joists since, during erection, a composite joist is like any SJI steel joist. Only after the concrete has cured, does the joist become composite.
Horizontal bridging shall consist of continuous horizontal
steel members. The l/r ratio for horizontal bridging shall
not exceed 300.

2.3 EXTENDED ENDS

(d) When bolted diagonal erection bridging is required, the


following shall apply:

Composite steel joist extended ends shall be in accordance


with Manufacturer's Standard and shall meet the requirements
of the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications of latest
adoption. Extended joist ends shall be assumed to act noncompositely. In the absence of a load diagram, the extended
top chord will be designed for the uniformly distributed load.

1. The bridging shall be indicated on the joist placement


plan.
2. The joist placement plan shall be the exclusive indicator for the proper placement of this bridging.
3. Shop installed bridging clips, or functional equivalents,
shall be provided where the bridging bolts to the steel
joist.

CODE OF
STANDARD PRACTICE

2.4 CEILING EXTENSIONS


Ceiling extensions shall be furnished to support ceilings which
are to be attached to the bottom of the joists.
They are not furnished for the support of suspended ceilings.
The ceiling extension shall be either an extended bottom chord
element or a loose unit, whichever is standard with the manu-

4. When two pieces of bridging are attached to the steel


joist by a common bolt, the nut that secures the first
piece of bridging shall not be removed from the bolt for
the attachment of the second piece.

196

CODE OF STANDARD PRACTICE FOR COMPOSITE STEEL JOISTS

When a check is to be made of the camber of a CJ-Series


joist, the joist shall be carefully laid on its side with the joist
intermittently supported prior to measuring the camber.
With the joist laying on its side, the joist will be in an
unstressed condition at which time the amount of camber
provided can be accurately determined.

5. Bridging attachments shall not protrude above the top


chord of the steel joists.
2.6 CAMBERING
(a) Manufacturing Tolerances
The camber tolerance for CJ-Series joists, as shown in

Joists having measured camber outside of the camber


tolerances shown in Table 2.6 shall have their camber
adjusted by the joist manufacturer. At the option of the
joist manufacturer, the joists may be rebuilt with the corrected camber.

Standard shop practice is to supply composite steel joists


unpainted to facilitate installation of welded shear studs. Paint

(b) Camber Design

SECTION 4.

It is standard practice that a CJ-Series joist be furnished


with sufficient camber for 100 percent of the non-composite dead load (joist, bridging, deck, and concrete
slab). Joist bearings act as pinned/pinned-end connections with negligible end rotation restraint provided.
Hence one will obtain 100% of the predicted non-composite joist deflection when the full non-composite dead
load has been placed on the composite joist. With the
composite joist cambered for 100% of the non-composite dead load and the floor slab placed to a uniform thickness as suggested in Section 9, Concrete Placement,
the floor will be approximately level after the concrete
has been placed.

INSPECTION
may potentially hinder the installation of welded shear studs to
the joist top chord.
Inspection of composite steel joists at the joist manufacturers
plant shall be made in accordance with the Steel Joist Institute
Standard Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJSeries, of latest adoption, Section 104.13.
Provisions for field inspection of projects involving composite
steel joists shall be made by the Specifying Professional. This
field inspection shall include verifying the concrete strength,
concrete thickness and placement of the steel shear studs.
For more information on stud placement see Section 106 of
the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite
Steel
Joists,
CJ-Series,
of
latest
adoption.
This field inspection will not be provided by SJI member manufacturers.
CODE OF
STANDARD PRACTICE

Should the Specifying Professional strive to achieve a


level floor after the composite dead and live loads are
placed on the floor, additional joist camber can be specified on the SJI Composite Joist Floor Design Parameters
Checklist, see Appendix B. It is typical that the Actual
composite dead and live loads supported by the composite steel joist are less than the full Design composite
dead and live loads.

ERECTION, 29 CFR PART 1926, SUBPART R - STEEL
ERECTION, refers to certain joists at or near columns to be
designed with sufficient strength to allow one employee to
release the hoisting cable without the need for erection
bridging. This STANDARD shall not be interpreted that
any joist at or near a column line is safe to support an
employee without bridging installed. Many limitations
exist that prevent these joists from being designed to safely
allow an employee on an unbridged joist. Because of these
limitations and as required by OSHA, these joists must be
erected by incorporating erection methods ensuring joist

CONCRETE PLACEMENT

8.1 INSTALLATION
(a) Locate headed shear studs, hereafter referred to as shear
studs, on composite steel joists per details shown on the
manufacturers shear stud placement drawings and as outlined in any shear stud layout tables. Start laying out shear
studs from each end of the joist and working toward the
center. Alternate installation of the shear studs from one
top chord angle to the other. Note minimum concrete longitudinal edge distance for shear studs on ends of joists as
shown on placement drawings.

Structural Welding Code Steel, Section 7.6 Stud


Application Qualification Requirements. This document
requires that a minimum of ten (10) shear studs shall be
welded using the decking and base material representative
of the conditions to be used during construction. The ten
(10) studs must then be successfully bend or tensile tested. A document recording the details and settings including the weld set up used for this test must be prepared prior
to beginning of any production shear stud welding. A copy
of the Application Qualification Test Data shall be furnished
to the Engineer of Record as outlined in AWS D1.1,
Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7.6.7 Application
Qualification Test Data. At the beginning of each days or
shifts production, Pre-production testing in accordance
with AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section
7.7 Production Control must be performed on the first two
shear studs that are welded.

(b) All shear studs shall be welded through the steel deck after
the deck has been placed on the joists. Welding voltage,
current, time, and gun settings for lift and plunge shall be
set at optimum settings for the particular size of shear
studs and range of joist top chord thicknesses, based on
recommendations of the shear stud manufacturer and
automatic shear stud welding equipment manufacturer, or
both. The shear stud installer should consult AWS C5.4,
Recommended Practices for Stud Welding, for technique
guidance. All welding must comply with AWS D1.1,
Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7, Stud Welding.

8.2 INSPECTION
(a) The welding of shear studs requires special inspection.
The Owner, or the Specifying Professional, acting as
Owners agent, shall employ one or more special inspectors who shall provide inspections of the shear stud welds
on a continual and timely basis. The special inspectors
duties include verifying welders qualifications, welding
preparation, welding procedures and conformance of
materials. Unless otherwise specified in a contract document, the stud installer shall be responsible for application
qualification tests, pre-production tests and removal of the
ferrule from each weld for inspection purposes.

(c) Each shear stud shall be provided with the appropriate


ceramic ferrule (arc shield) designated by the shear stud
manufacturer as designed for weld through deck application. Ferrules shall be stored in a moisture free environment and kept dry during installation.
(d) Prior to welding of shear studs, the top surface of the joist
top chords must be clean, unpainted and free of heavy
rust, dirt, sand, oil, grease, water, or other foreign substances. The surfaces of the deck prior to stud welding
shall be free of heavy rust or mill scale, moisture, dirt, sand,
or other construction related waste materials.

(b) To ensure proper welds, bend test a minimum of 1 out of


every 100 shear connector studs production welded, by
either striking the shear stud with a hammer or placing a
pipe or other hollow device over the shear stud and manually or mechanically bending the shear stud 15 from its
original axis. Shear studs shall be bent along the longitudinal axis of the joist toward the nearest end of the joist. If
failure occurs in the weld zone, a minimum of two adjacent
shear studs shall be satisfactorily bend tested. The special
inspector, where conditions warrant, may select a reasonable number of additional shear studs to be subjected to a
15 bend test.

(e) Prior to welding, the steel deck must rest tightly against the
top chord of the composite steel joist.

CODE OF
STANDARD PRACTICE

(f) Shear studs shall not be welded through more than 1 thickness of 16 gage deck or two thicknesses of 18 gage deck
or lighter. Total galvanizing thickness on one thickness or
two thicknesses of deck shall not exceed 1.25 oz. per
square foot total for both sides of the deck.
(g) Welding of shear studs shall not be done when the base
metal is below 0F (-18C) or when the surface is wet or
exposed
to
falling

BUSINESS RELATIONS
Steel, Section 7, Stud Welding requirements, as indicated
by inspection and testing, corrective action shall be
required of the shear stud installer. At the shear stud
installers expense, the shear stud installer shall make the
set-up changes necessary to ensure that shear studs subsequently welded will meet code requirements.

10.1 PRESENTATION OF PROPOSALS


All proposals for furnishing Material shall be made on a Sales
Contract Form. After acceptance by the Buyer, these proposals must be approved or executed by a qualified official of the
Seller. Upon such approval the proposal becomes a contract.

(d) The shear stud installer shall certify to the Specifying


Professional that the shear studs were installed in accordance with the requirements of AWS D1.1, Structural
Welding Code - Steel, Section 7, Stud Welding.

10.2 ACCEPTANCE OF PROPOSALS


All proposals are intended for prompt acceptance and are subject to change without notice.

It is normal practice for joist manufacturers to camber composite steel joists for the full non-composite dead load. This
joist camber, while theoretically providing a flat floor surface,
after placing of the concrete is completed, requires special
consideration relative to concrete placement.

10.3 BILLING

The SJI suggested method for concrete placement is to utilize


the Constant Slab Thickness Method. In this method the concrete slab is placed at a constant thickness across the entire
length of the composite steel joist. The reasons to use this
method include the following:

Payments shall be made in full on each invoice without


retention.

Contracts on a lump sum basis are to be billed proportionately as shipments are made.
10.4 PAYMENT

10.5 ARBITRATION
All business controversies which cannot be settled by direct
negotiations between Buyer and Seller shall be submitted to
arbitration. Both parties shall sign a submission to arbitration and if possible agree upon an arbitrator. If they are
unable to agree, each shall appoint an arbitrator and these
two shall appoint a third arbitrator. The expenses of the
arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties,
unless otherwise provided for in the agreements to submit to

The arbitrators shall pass finally upon all questions, both of
law and fact, and their findings shall be conclusive.

Full concrete slab thickness will be provided along the


entire composite joist span to carry the composite steel
joist compressive loads.
A full thickness slab is necessary to provide required fire
protection.
Sufficient concrete cover will be provided over the
heads of the shear studs.
The potential for over runs in concrete placing volume
will be greatly reduced.
Deflections of the composite steel joist under the noncomposite loading can be more accurately predicted vs.
with a variable thickness slab.

CODE OF
STANDARD PRACTICE

Concrete construction joints should ideally be located between


joists. When a construction joint is located closer than 12 in.
(305 mm) from the longitudinal centerline of any given composite steel joist, it is the responsibility of the Specifying
Professional to determine whether extra transverse steel reinforcing needs to be provided to assure that the composite
properties of the supporting member with shear studs has not
been affected.

Series Designs may be substituted for the tested structural


member provided the hourly Unrestrained Beam Rating of
the structural member being transferred is at least equal to
the Unrestrained Beam Rating of the structural member
being replaced. Additionally, for steel joists and steel trusses the Restrained Beam Rating of the joist or truss being
transferred is to be equal to or greater than the Restrained
Assembly Rating of the floor-ceiling assembly into which the
joist or truss is being transferred.

The CJ-Series Composite Steel Joists can be easily incorporated into many fire resistance designs published by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) latest edition of the UL
Fire Resistance Directory.
The following information is from ANSI/UL 263 IV. BEAMS,
4. Beam Substitution,

Beam ratings depend upon the type of floor or roof the beam
is supporting and the protection on the floor or roof units, as
well as the type and thickness of protection material applied
to
the
beam.
The substitution of beams into a floor assembly (A--, D--, G-, or JDesign) or roof assembly (PDesign) should be
limited to assemblies which have a similar or greater capacity for heat dissipation from the beam as compared to the
capacity for heat dissipation of the floor or roof construction
specified in the design from which the beam is being transferred.

The CJ-Series joists shall be designed by the Joist Supplier


to meet the minimum requirements of UL Beam Design
Numbers. N736 and N825. The following tables give the fire
rated floor-ceiling assemblies that can employ CJ-Series
Composite Steel Joists.
Fire protection costs can be a significant portion of the overall system cost. Consequently, when spray applied protection is specified, the CJ-Series joists should be spaced as far
apart as practical to reduce the number of joists receiving
fire protection. Additionally, under certain conditions, CJSeries joists can be designed without vertical webs and the
bridging can be removed after the concrete has cured thereby further reducing the cost of fire protection.

Structural steel means a steel member, or a member made of


a substitute material (such as, but not limited to, fiberglass, aluminum or composite members). These members include, but
are not limited to, steel joists, joist girders, purlins, columns,
beams, trusses, splices, seats, metal decking, girts, and all
bridging, and cold formed metal framing which is integrated
with the structural steel framing of a building.

1926.751 DEFINITIONS
(Selected items only)
Anchored bridging means that the steel joist bridging is connected to a bridging terminus point.
Bolted diagonal bridging means diagonal bridging that is
bolted to a steel joist or joists.

1926.757 OPEN WEB


STEEL JOISTS

Bridging clip means a device that is attached to the steel


joist to allow the bolting of the bridging to the steel joist.
Bridging terminus point means a wall, a beam, tandem joists
(with all bridging installed and a horizontal truss in the plane
of the top chord) or other element at an end or intermediate
point(s) of a line of bridging that provides an anchor point for
the steel joist bridging.

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, where


steel joists are used and columns are not framed in at least two
directions with solid web structural steel members, a steel joist
shall be field-bolted at the column to provide lateral stability to
the column during erection. For the installation of this joist:

Column means a load-carrying vertical member that is part


of the primary skeletal framing system. Columns do not
include posts.

(i) A vertical stabilizer plate shall be provided on each


column
for
steel
joists.
The plate shall be a minimum of 6 inch by 6 inch
(152 mm by 152 mm) and shall extend at least 3
inches (76 mm) below the bottom chord of the joist
with a 13 /16 inch (21 mm) hole to provide an
attachment point for guying or plumbing cables.

Constructibility means the ability to erect structural steel


members in accordance with subpart R without having to
alter the over-all structural design.
Construction load (for joist erection) means any load other
than the weight of the employee(s), the joists and the bridging bundle.

(ii) The bottom chords of steel joists at columns shall


be stabilized to prevent rotation during erection.

Erection bridging means the bolted diagonal bridging that is


required to be installed prior to releasing the hoisting cables
from the steel joists.

(iii) Hoisting cables shall not be released until the


seat at each end of the steel joist is field-bolted,
and each end of the bottom chord is restrained by
the column stabilizer plate.

Personal fall arrest system means a system used to arrest


an employee in a fall from a working level. A personal fall
arrest system consists of an anchorage, connectors, a body
harness and may include a lanyard, deceleration device, lifeline, or suitable combination of these. The use of a body belt
for fall arrest is prohibited.

(2) Where constructibility does not allow a steel joist to be


installed at the column:
(i) an alternate means of stabilizing joists shall be
installed on both sides near the column and shall:

Project structural engineer means the registered, licensed


professional responsible for the design of structural steel
framing and whose seal appears on the structural contract
documents.

(A) provide stability equivalent to paragraph


(a)(1) of this section;
(B) be designed by a qualified person;
(C) be shop installed; and

Qualified person (also defined in 1926.32) means one


who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or
professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project.

(D) be included in the erection drawings.


(ii) hoisting cables shall not be released until the seat
at each end of the steel joist is field-bolted and
the joist is stabilized.
(3) Where steel joists at or near columns span 60 feet (18.3
m) or less, the joist shall be designed with sufficient strength
to allow one employee to release the hoisting cable without
the need for erection bridging.

Steel joist means an open web, secondary load-carrying


member of 144 feet (43.9 m) or less, designed by the manufacturer, used for the support of floors and roofs. This does
not include structural steel trusses or cold-formed joists.

(4) Where steel joists at or near columns span more than 60


feet (18.3 m), the joists shall be set in tandem with all bridging
installed unless an alternative method of erection, which provides equivalent stability to the steel joist, is designed by a qualified person and is included in the site-specific erection plan.

Steel joist girder means an open web, primary load-carrying


member, designed by the manufacturer, used for the support
of floors and roofs. This does not include structural steel
trusses.

STANDARD SPECIFICATION
FOR COMPOSITE STEEL JOISTS, CJ-SERIES
Adopted by the Steel Joist Institute May 10, 2006
Revised to May 18, 2010, Effective December 31, 2010

SECTION 100.

SCOPE AND DEFINITION


100.1 SCOPE
The Standard Specification for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, hereafter referred to as the Specification, covers the
design, manufacture, application, and erection stability and handling of Composite Steel Joists CJ-Series in buildings or
other structures, where other structures are defined as those structures designed, manufactured, and erected in a manner
similar to buildings. CJ-Series joists shall be designed using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) in accordance
with this Specification. Composite Steel Joists shall be erected in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor, Code of Federal Regulations 29CFR Part 1926 Safety Standards for
Steel Erection, Section 1926.757 Open Web Steel Joists.
This Specification includes Sections 100 through 107.
100.2 DEFINITION
The term "Composite Steel Joists CJ-Series, as used herein, refers to open web, parallel chord, load-carrying members
utilizing hot-rolled or cold-formed steel, including cold-formed steel whose yield strength has been attained by cold
working, suitable for the direct support of one-way floor or roof systems. Shear connection between the joist top chord
and overlying concrete slab allows the steel joist and slab to act together as an integral unit after the concrete has
adequately cured. The CJ-Series joists have been standardized in depths from 10 inches (254 mm) through 96 inches
(2438 mm), for spans up through 120 feet (36576 mm).
The CJ-Series standard joist designation is determined by its nominal depth, the letters CJ, followed by the total uniform
composite load, uniform composite live load, and finally the uniform composite dead load. Composite Steel Joists shall be
designed in accordance with these specifications to support the loads defined by the specifying professional.
Two standard types of CJ-Series joists are designed and manufactured. These types are underslung (top chord bearing)
or square-ended (bottom chord bearing), with parallel chords.
100.3 STRUCTURAL DESIGN DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS
The design drawings and specifications shall meet the requirements in the Code of Standard Practice for Composite Steel
Joists, except for deviations specifically identified in the design drawings and/or specifications.

31

Steel Joist Institute - SJI-CJCOSP-2010

Structural Drawings. The graphic or pictorial portions of the contract documents showing the design, location and
dimensions of the work. These documents generally include plans, elevations, sections, details, connections, all loads,
schedules, diagrams and notes.
1.4 DESIGN
In the absence of ordinances or specifications to the contrary, all designs prepared by the specifying professional shall
be in accordance with the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest
adoption.
1.5 RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESIGN AND ERECTION
When material requirements are specified, the seller shall assume no responsibility other than to furnish the items listed in
Section 5.2 (a). When material requirements are not specified, the seller shall furnish the items listed in Section 5.2 (a) in
accordance with Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption, and
this code. Pertinent design information shall be provided to the seller as stipulated in Section 6.1. The seller shall identify
material by showing size and type. In no case shall the seller assume any responsibility for the erection of the item
furnished.
1.6 PERFORMANCE TESTS FOR CJ-SERIES STEEL JOIST CONSTRUCTION
When a performance test on a composite steel joist is required, the following criteria shall be used:
a) The performance test load shall be the maximum factored uniformly distributed composite design load for the
selected composite steel joist.
b) Joist self-weight and the weight of all test materials (i.e. bridging, top deck, slab, ceiling materials, etc.) shall be
included in the calculation of applied performance test loading as appropriate for the composite steel joist during
testing.
c) Loading shall be uniformly distributed across the full length of the joist top chord, and the load application shall
maintain uniform distribution throughout the test. At any stage during the application of the test loading, the test
load shall not be distributed in such a manner as to result in any joist component being subjected to a higher
proportion of force than intended by the composite steel joist design.
d) At a minimum, a panel test assembly shall be comprised of a pair of joists with bridging, top deck, shear studs
and concrete slab applied as used. The concrete shall be allowed adequate cure time as determined by the
specifying professional (typically 28 days) prior to testing. The deck attachments and bridging shall be installed

under the full performance test load.
f)

All costs associated with such testing shall be borne by the purchaser.

g) Joists that have been designed and manufactured and have satisfied the above performance test criteria shall be
considered to satisfy the intent of the CJ-Series Standard Specification, and shall be considered safe for use in
construction. No further proof of strength of individual joist components or connections is required.

32

Steel Joist Institute - SJI-CJCOSP-2010

SECTION 2

COMPOSITE JOISTS
AND ACCESSORIES
2.1 COMPOSITE STEEL JOISTS
Composite steel joists shall carry the loads and meet the requirements of the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications
for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption.
CJ-Series joists are furnished with parallel chords only, and with minimum standard end bearing depth of 2 inches (64
mm). CJ-Series joists shall be permitted to be furnished with either under slung or square ends.
2.2 JOIST LOCATION AND SPACING
The maximum joist spacing shall be in accordance with the requirements of Section 104.8, Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption.
Where sidewalls, wall beams or tie beams are capable of supporting the floor slab or roof deck, the first adjacent
composite steel joists may be placed one full space from these members. CJ-Series joists are provided with camber.
These joists may have a significant difference in elevation with respect to the adjacent structure because of this camber.
This difference in elevation should be given consideration when locating the first composite steel joist adjacent to a
sidewall, wall beam or tie beam. Therefore, it is recommended that this joist be located one full space away from these
members.
Where load bearing partitions occur parallel to joists, joists are generally placed under each such partition, and more than
one such joist shall be provided if necessary to safely support the weight of such partition and the adjacent floor, less the
live load, on a strip of floor one foot (0.305 m) in width. Where partitions occur perpendicular to the joists, they shall be
treated as concentrated loads in accordance with Section 6.1.
2.3 JOIST EXTENSIONS
Composite steel joist extensions shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications Load Tables & Weight Tables of latest adoption.
The magnitude and location of the loads to be supported, deflection requirements, and proper bracing of joist or Joist
Girder Top Chord Extensions (S Type), Extended Ends (R Type) or full depth cantilever ends shall be clearly indicated on
the structural drawings.
Extended joist ends shall be assumed to act non-compositely. In the absence of a load diagram, the extended top chord
shall be designed for the uniformly distributed load.
2.4 CEILING EXTENSIONS
Ceiling extensions shall be furnished to support ceilings which are to be attached to the bottom of the joists. They are not
furnished for the support of suspended ceilings. The ceiling extension shall be either an extended bottom chord element
or a loose unit, whichever is standard with the manufacturer, and shall be of sufficient strength to properly support the
ceiling.

33

Steel Joist Institute - SJI-CJCOSP-2010

2.5 BRIDGING AND BRIDGING ANCHORS


(a) Bridging standard with the manufacturer and complying with the applicable Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption shall be used for bridging all joists furnished
by the manufacturer. Positive anchorage shall be provided at the ends of each bridging row at both top and bottom
chords.
(b) Diagonal cross bridging consisting of angles or other shapes connected to the top and bottom chords of CJ-Series
joists shall be used when required by the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJSeries, of latest adoption.
Diagonal bridging, when used, shall have a r ratio not exceeding 200.
(c) For the CJ-Series joists, horizontal bridging is recommended for spans up to and including 60 feet (18.3 m) except
where code requirements for erection stability and/ or the Steel Joist Institute Specifications require bolted diagonal
bridging.
CJ-Series joists, exceeding 60 feet (18.3 m) in length shall have bolted diagonal bridging for all rows.
Refer to Section 105 in the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of
latest adoption for erection stability requirements.
Refer to OSHA Safety Standards for Steel Erection, 29 CFR 1926.757 Open Web Steel Joists for erection stability
requirements.
Note: The requirements as per OSHA also apply for composite steel joists since, during erection, a composite joist is
like any SJI steel joist. Only after the concrete has cured, does the joist become composite.
Horizontal bridging shall consist of continuous horizontal steel members. The r ratio for horizontal bridging shall
not exceed 300.
(d) When bolted diagonal erection bridging is required, the following shall apply:
1. The bridging shall be indicated on the joist placement plan.
2. The joist placement plan shall be the exclusive indicator for the proper placement of this bridging.
3. Shop installed bridging clips, or functional equivalents, shall be provided where the bridging bolts to the steel joist.
4. When two pieces of bridging are attached to the steel joist by a common bolt, the nut that secures the first piece
of bridging shall not be removed from the bolt for the attachment of the second piece.
5. Bridging attachments shall not protrude above the top chord of the steel joists.
2.6 CAMBERING
(a) Manufacturing Tolerances
The camber tolerance for CJ-Series joists, as shown in Table 2.6, shall be -0 in., +1/4 in. (6 mm) or -0 in., + L / 1600
[where L = top chord length, in. (mm)] whichever is greater. Negative camber is not permitted.

(b) Camber Design


It is standard practice that a CJ-Series joist be furnished with sufficient camber for 100 percent of the non-composite
dead load (joist, bridging, deck, and concrete slab). Joist bearings act as pinned / pinned-end connections with
negligible end rotation restraint provided. Hence one shall obtain 100% of the predicted non-composite joist
deflection when the full non-composite dead load has been placed on the composite joist. With the composite joist
cambered for 100% of the non-composite dead load and the floor slab placed to a uniform thickness as suggested in
Section 9, Concrete Placement, the floor shall be approximately level after the concrete has been placed.
Should the specifying professional strive to achieve a level floor after the composite dead and live loads are placed
on the floor, additional joist camber can be specified on the Composite Joist Floor Design Parameters Checklist, see
Appendix A. It is typical that the Actual composite dead and live loads supported by the composite steel joist are
less than the full Design composite dead and live loads.
(c) Shop Inspection
When a check is to be made of the camber of a CJ-Series joist, the joist shall be carefully laid on its side with the joist
intermittently supported prior to measuring the camber. With the joist lying on its side, the joist shall be in an
unstressed condition at which time the amount of camber provided can be accurately determined.
Joists having measured camber outside of the camber tolerances shown in Table 2.6 shall have their camber
adjusted by the joist manufacturer. At the option of the joist manufacturer, the joists shall be permitted to be rebuilt
with the corrected camber.
2.7 SHEAR STUDS
The joist manufacturer shall indicate the size, quantity and layout of shear studs required on the stud installation drawings.
Purchasing of the shear studs and ferrules, rental of shear stud welding equipment, installation of shear studs and field
testing of shear studs is the responsibility of the shear stud installer.

SECTION 7

HANDLING AND ERECTION*


The current OSHA SAFETY STANDARDS FOR STEEL ERECTION, 29 CFR PART 1926, SUBPART R - STEEL
ERECTION, refers to certain joists at or near columns to be designed with sufficient strength to allow one employee to
release the hoisting cable without the need for erection bridging. This STANDARD shall not be interpreted that any
joist at or near a column line is safe to support an employee without bridging installed. Many limitations exist that
prevent these joists from being designed to safely allow an employee on an unbridged joist. Because of these limitations
and as required by OSHA, these joists shall be erected by incorporating erection methods ensuring joist stability and
either:
1. Installing bridging or otherwise stabilizing the joist prior to releasing the hoisting cable, or
2. Releasing the hoisting cable without having a worker on the joist.
A composite steel joist shall not be placed on any support structure unless such structure is stabilized. When composite
steel joists are landed on a structure, they shall be secured to prevent unintentional displacement prior to installation.
A bridging terminus point shall be established before joist bridging is installed.
Composite steel joists shall not be used as anchorage points for a fall arrest system unless written direction to do so is
obtained from a qualified person as defined in the Steel Joist Institute Standard Specifications for Composite Steel
Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption, Section 105(c)(3)(a).
No modification that affects the strength of a composite steel joist shall be made without the written approval of the project
engineer of record.
The buyer and/ or erector shall check all materials on arrival at job site and promptly report to seller any discrepancies
and/or damages. The buyer and/ or erector shall comply with the requirements of the Steel Joist Institute Standard
Specifications for Composite Steel Joists, CJ-Series, of latest adoption in the handling and erection of material.
The seller shall not be responsible for improper fit of material due to inaccurate construction work.
*For thorough coverage of this topic, refer to SJI Technical Digest #9, "Handling and Erection of Steel Joists and Joist
Girders".

SECTION 8

INSTALLATION AND
INSPECTION OF SHEAR
STUD CONNECTORS
8.1 INSTALLATION
(a) Locate headed shear studs, hereafter referred to as shear studs, on composite steel joists per details shown on the
manufacturers shear stud placement drawings and as outlined in any shear stud layout tables. Start laying out shear
studs from each end of the joist and working toward the center. Alternate installation of the shear studs from one top
chord angle to the other. Note minimum concrete longitudinal edge distance for shear studs on ends of joists as
shown on placement drawings.
(b) All shear studs shall be welded through the steel deck after the deck has been placed on the joists. Welding voltage,
current, time, and gun settings for lift and plunge shall be set at optimum settings for the particular size of shear studs
and range of joist top chord thicknesses, based on recommendations of the shear stud manufacturer and automatic
shear stud welding equipment manufacturer, or both. The shear stud installer should consult AWS C5.4,
Recommended Practices for Stud Welding, for technique guidance. All welding shall comply with AWS D1.1,
Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7, Stud Welding.
(c) Each shear stud shall be provided with the appropriate ceramic ferrule (arc shield) designated by the shear stud
manufacturer as designed for weld through deck application. Ferrules shall be stored in a moisture free environment
and kept dry during installation.
(d) Prior to welding of shear studs, the top surface of the joist top chords shall be clean, unpainted and free of heavy rust,
dirt, sand, oil, grease, water, or other foreign substances. The surfaces of the deck prior to stud welding shall be free
of heavy rust or mill scale, moisture, dirt, sand, or other construction related waste materials.
(e) Prior to welding, the steel deck shall rest tightly against the top chord of the composite steel joist.
(f) Shear studs shall not be welded through more than 1 thickness of 16 gage deck or two thicknesses of 18 gage deck
or lighter. Total galvanizing thickness on one thickness or two thicknesses of deck shall not exceed 1.25 oz. per
square foot total for both sides of the deck.
(g) Welding of shear studs shall not be done when the base metal is below 0F (-18C) or when the surface is wet or
exposed to falling rain or snow. When the base metal temperature is between 0F (-18C) and 32F (0C), welding
shall be permitted to only be done with appropriate set up, pre-production testing and inspection procedures as
outlined in AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7.5, Technique.
(h) Qualification of the stud application procedure used to weld shear studs through metal deck is outlined in AWS D1.1,
Structural Welding Code Steel, Section 7.6 Stud Application Qualification Requirements. This document requires
that a minimum of ten (10) shear studs shall be welded using the decking and base material representative of the
conditions to be used during construction. The ten (10) studs shall then be successfully bend or tensile tested. A
document recording the details and settings including the weld set up used for this test shall be prepared prior to
beginning of any production shear stud welding. A copy of the Application Qualification Test Data shall be furnished
to the Engineer of Record as outlined in AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code- Steel, Section 7.6.7 Application
Qualification Test Data. At the beginning of each days or shifts production, Pre-production testing in accordance with
AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7.7 Production Control shall be performed on the first two shear
studs that are welded.

8.2 INSPECTION
(a) The welding of shear studs requires special inspection. The owner, or the specifying professional, acting as
owners agent, shall employ one or more special inspectors who shall provide inspections of the shear stud welds on
a continual and timely basis. The special inspectors duties include verifying welders qualifications, welding
preparation, welding procedures and conformance of materials. Unless otherwise specified in a contract document,
the stud installer shall be responsible for application qualification tests, pre-production tests and removal of the ferrule
from each weld for inspection purposes.
(b) To ensure proper welds, bend test a minimum of 1 out of every 100 shear connector studs production welded, by
either striking the shear stud with a hammer or placing a pipe or other hollow device over the shear stud and manually
or mechanically bending the shear stud 15 from its original axis. Shear studs shall be bent along the longitudinal
axis of the joist toward the nearest end of the joist. If failure occurs in the weld zone, a minimum of two adjacent
shear studs shall be satisfactorily bend tested. The special inspector, where conditions warrant, shall be permitted to
select a reasonable number of additional shear studs to be subjected to a 15 bend test.
(c) If, in the judgment of the specifying professional, shear studs welded during the progress of the work are not in
accordance with AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7, Stud Welding requirements, as indicated by
inspection and testing, corrective action shall be required of the shear stud installer. At the shear stud installers
expense, the shear stud installer shall make the set-up changes necessary to ensure that shear studs subsequently
welded meet code requirements.
(d) The shear stud installer shall certify to the specifying professional that the shear studs were installed in accordance
with the requirements of AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code - Steel, Section 7, Stud Welding.

SECTION 9

CONCRETE PLACEMENT
It is normal practice for joist manufacturers to camber composite steel joists for the full non-composite dead load. This
joist camber, while theoretically providing a flat floor surface, after placing of the concrete is completed, requires special
consideration relative to concrete placement.
The SJI suggested method for concrete placement is to utilize the Constant Slab Thickness Method. In this method the
concrete slab is placed at a constant thickness across the entire length of the composite steel joist. The reasons to use
this method include the following:

Full concrete slab thickness shall be provided along the entire composite joist span to carry the composite steel
joist compressive loads.

A full thickness slab is necessary to provide required fire protection.

Sufficient concrete cover shall be provided over the heads of the shear studs.

The potential for over runs in concrete placing volume shall be greatly reduced.

Deflections of the composite steel joist under the non-composite loading can be more accurately predicted vs.
with a variable thickness slab.

Steel Joist Institute - SJI-CJCOSP-2010


Concrete construction joints should ideally be located between joists. When a construction joint is located closer than 12
in. (305 mm) from the longitudinal centerline of any given composite steel joist, it is the responsibility of the specifying
professional to determine whether extra transverse steel reinforcing needs to be provided to assure that the composite
properties of the supporting member with shear studs has not been affected.
