The hot rolled chord sections are high strength

steel of 55,000 P.S.1. minimum guaranteed yield
stress, using closely controlled chemistry to obtain the qualities of ductility and weldability with
high yield stress. All the steel used in these joists
is hot rolled in Western Canada and readily available at all times.
Modern

fabrication

methods

using automatic

equipment for web bending, resistance welding

and other operations perm it exceptionally
economical fabrication.
Loading tables contained in this catalogue show
total allowable dead plus live loads together with
the allowable live load permissible, without undue
deflection, for spans from 10 feet to 120 feet.
This catalogue has been prepared for the convenience of Architects, Engineers and Owners in
Western Canada and the North Western United
States who will find the new joist series a valuable
contribution to the economic and efficient design
of buildings. Design of Optimum Economy
been evolved by the use of IBM computers .

has

Separate catalogues covering the joists fabricated in Eastern Canada (E) Series and California
(C) Series are also available .

LOAD TABLES

DEseRI PTION OF LOAD TABLES

The joists shown in the load tables are the most frequently specified joists only. For joist sizes not shown in
tables, contact the engineering offices of your nearest Great West Steel plant. Joist sizes 34 inch, 38 inch
and 40 inch are not shown in the tables but can be fabricated as standard.
Black figures in the fourth column of tables indicate the
per foot. The colored figures in the same column indicate
by maximum deflection of 1/360 of the span. In cases
multiply the colored figure by 1.5 to obtain the allowable

calculated allowable capacity of the joist in pounds

the allowable live load in pounds per foot as limited
where 1/240 of the span is the limiting deflection
live load.

The joist types are designated as follows. The first digit or digits indicate the joist depth in inches. The following
letter indicates the size of the top chord. The last digit or digits indicates the size of web bar in sixteenths of an
inch for short span joists only. Intermediate and long span joists are indicated by only the depth digits and
the chord letter. Webs of intermediate and long span joists are designed for each specific load case.
Panel P (see Joist Dimensions and Properties table) is 24 inches for intermediate span joists and 48 inches for
long span joists. Intermediate span jOists utilize shallow hat section top chord. The long span joists utilize
deep hat section top chord.
Calculations in these tables conform to requirements of the Canadian Standards Association S-16 (1969) and
the National Building Code.
