OPEN WEB STEEL JOIST - KCS SERIES

KCS Joist chords are designed for a flat positive moment envelope. The design assums that the moment capacity is constant at all interior panels. The top chord end panel is designed for axial load based on the force in the first tension web, which is based on the specified shear. A uniform load of 550 lbs/lf (max permissible) is used to check end panel bending. The web forces are calculated on a flat shear envelope. All webs are designed for vertical shear equal to the specified shear capacity. All webs (except the first tension web which remains in tension under all simple span gravity loads) are designed for 100% stress reversal.

Based on your uniform load and Concentrated loads, input the maximum moment and shear values below to select a KCS Joist



Input Maximum Moment in inch-kips
