Simply Supported Floor Joist

1 Objective
To check the safety of using the (925PJ250-43mil, 50ksi) TSN PrimeJoist section for a simply
supported floor joist, given the following data:-
Floor joist is designed for [1.2 x Dead Load + 1.6 x Live Load], based on the AISI-NASPEC 2001 with
2004 supplement and in accordance with LRFD method.
Web-crippling check is considered, and the bearing length (N) = 4 in.
The section web is unreinforced along the joist span.
Joist span (L) = 12 ft.
Loads on floor joist are given in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1 Loads on Floor Joist

Load Value Units
Dead Load (IDL) 30 psf
Live Load (ILL) 50 psf
Joist spacing (S) = 24 in.
The top flange is fully braced against lateral and torsional buckling.
Lateral and torsional bracing are provided at midspan for bottom flange.
The deflection limit = L/ 360 (for live load)
= L/ 240 (for total load)
The maximum absolute deflection is 0.6 in.
Effect of the standard punch-out (4" X 1.5") is not considered.
Strength increase due to cold-work of forming is considered (if applicable).

5 Strength Check
5.1 Flexural Moment (Mx)
The major flexural strength of the floor joist member is the least of:
a) The strength at initiation of cross-section yielding.
b) The strength for lateral-torsional buckling.
Since the compression flange of the section is fully braced, the lateral-torsional buckling won't occur; and
the flexural strength is equal to the strength at initiation of cross-section yielding calculated in accordance
with Section C3.1.1 in the 2001 specification.
The effective properties of the section can be calculated by loading the section by a stress gradient
(tension-compression) which has the value of the yielding stress (Fy) at the extreme compression fiber of
the section (Fig. 5-1).

equal to half the section depth, measured from the extreme compression fiber of the section towards the
tension flange (Fig. 5-1).

Considering the parts lying in tension zone and the corners are fully effective, the effective
area of the section in flexural moment (Mx) can be calculated as follows:
Remt = Total removed length of the section due to local buckling
= Rem1 + Rem2 + Rem3 + Rem4
= 0 + 0 + 0.547809 + 1.08071 = 1.628519 in.

5.1.2 Effective Section Modulus @ Major Axis
To calculate the effective section modulus of the section @ its major axis, we have firstly to
determine the neutral axis position of the effective section as follows:
Ycg1 = Neutral axis position of the effective section after Iteration 1, measured from the extreme
compression fiber towards the tension flange
n
= A i Xi Ae
i=1
Where,
Ai = Effective area of a part the section includes.
Xi = Distance between the centroid of the part and the extreme compression fiber of the section.
Ycg1 = 5.0145447 in. > (Ycg0 = 4.625 in.), (calculations are not shown).
cg1 = Ycg1 Ycg0
= 5.0145447 4.625 = 0.3895447 in.
Since cg1 has a significant value, iterations must be continued till cg becomes 0.0. This condition was
verified by doing eight more iterations, and the final value of Ycg was found equal to 5.1568252 in. (Fig. 5-
5).

5.4 Combined (Mx) and (Vy)

The critical combined corresponding values of bending moment (Mx) and shear force (Vy) were
found at left support (X/ L = 0/ 12 = 0), and can be checked in accordance with Section C3.3.2 in the
2004 supplement as follows:-

6 Serviceability Check
6.1 Total Load Deflection (Total)
The maximum actual deflection (act-Total) is at the mid span of the floor joist, and can be calculated
using the effective major moment of inertia (Ixe) and W Total as follows:
5 WTotalL4
act-Total =
384 EIxe

all-Total = Maximum allowed deflection for total load
= L/ 240
= (12 * 12)/ 240 = 0.60 in. > act-Total safe
Act/ All = act-Total/ all-Total
= 0.2963/ 0.60 = 0.4939

6.2 Live Load Deflection (Live)
The maximum actual deflection (act-Live) is at the mid span of the floor joist, and can be calculated
using the effective major moment of inertia (Ixe) and W Live as follows:
5 WLiveL4
act-Live =
384 EIxe

5 (100 12000) * (12 * 12)

all-Live = Maximum allowed deflection for live load
= L/ 360
= (12 * 12)/ 360 = 0.40 in. > act-Live safe
Act/ All = act-Live/ all-Live
= 0.1852/ 0.40 = 0.4630
7 Conclusion
It is unsafe to use a (925PJ250-43mil, 50Ksi) section as a joist for this floor.

Verification Samples

Simply Supported Floor Joist

Web-crippling check is considered, and the bearing length (N) = 4 in.

The section web is unreinforced along the joist span.

Joist span (L) = 12 ft.

Loads on floor joist are given in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 Loads on Floor Joist

Joist spacing (S) = 24 in.

The deflection limit = L/ 360 (for live load)

= L/ 240 (for total load)

The maximum absolute deflection is 0.6 in.

Effect of the standard punch-out (4" X 1.5") is not considered.

Strength increase due to cold-work of forming is considered (if applicable).
