22 Learning Objectives What are the advantages and disadvantages to using classic tools to select conventional standard joists and Joist Girder designations? What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder and how are they used? In what situation might it be advantageous for a Structural Engineer to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When a Virtual Joist or Virtual Joist Girder is used in the building design model, how should it be specified on the contract structural drawings? 22

23 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders are a set of pseudo section properties based on commonly available joist chord pairs. 23

24 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Excerpt from Virtual Joist Girder Table 24

25 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders are a set of pseudo section properties based on commonly available joist chord pairs. The major axis moment of inertia (I Z ) is based directly on the pair of double angle joist chords and pre-adjusted for approximate deflection contribution from web strain. The Area is likewise based directly on the pair of double angle joist chords. 25

26 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Virtual Joist Girder Section Properties: A x : Total Area of Top and Bottom Chords Sum of top and bottom chord areas D: Total VJG Depth I z : VJG Strong-Axis Effective Moment of Inertia Classically calculated Moment of Inertia of the Chords divided by 1.15 to account for deflection effects from the joist web members. 26

29 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders are a set of pseudo section properties based on commonly available joist chord pairs. The major axis moment of inertia (I Z ) is based directly on the pair of double angle joist chords and pre-adjusted for approximate deflection contribution from web strain. The Area is likewise based directly on the pair of double angle joist chords. All other section properties are equivalent wide-flange beam properties manipulated to encourage selection of the appropriate Virtual Joist and/ or Virtual Joist Girder when checked against a Wide-Flange Beam selection routine. 29

30 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Sample VJ & VJG Section Properties: TD: Web Thickness Total Depth/30; Ensures that the sec7on is treated as "compact" when considering web shear. B: Flange Width 2*Chord Angle Leg + 1" Chord Gap TB: Flange Thickness (Chord angle thickness)/(chord angle leg) * B/2; This value results in the correct width/thickness ra7o when STAAD checks (B/2)/TB. 30

31 What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder? Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders are a set of pseudo section properties based on commonly available joist chord pairs. The major axis moment of inertia (I Z ) is based directly on the pair of double angle joist chords and pre-adjusted for approximate deflection contribution from web strain. The Area is likewise based directly on the pair of double angle joist chords. All other section properties are equivalent wide-flange beam properties manipulated to encourage selection of the appropriate Virtual Joist and/ or Virtual Joist Girder when checked against a Wide-Flange Beam selection routine. The Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder tables provide approximate section properties suitable for use in a stiffness based structural analysis program. Testing at South Dakota School of Mine and Technology has verified that Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders selected via STAAD and/or RAM using a broad range of loading scenarios result in section properties reasonably close to those in the final joist and Joist Girder designs. 31

In what situation might it be advantageous for a Structural Engineer to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When a Virtual Joist or Virtual Joist Girder is used in the building design model, how should it be specified on the contract structural drawings? 36

37 When might it be advantageous to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When sizing joists for special loads (anything other than full-length uniform design loads) 37

38 Not all Design Loads are Uniformly Distributed Sample Special Load Diagram from SJI COSP 38

39 When might it be advantageous to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When sizing joists for special loads (anything other than full-length uniform design loads) A more accurate estimate of appropriate joist and/or Joist Girder depth and weight can be found using the Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder tables than by using equivalent uniform loads and standard joist load tables. 39

40 When might it be advantageous to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When sizing joists for special loads (anything other than full-length uniform design loads) When sizing joists for conditions with negative moments, such as cantilevered joists and/or joists with intermediate supports (multi-span conditions). 40

42 When might it be advantageous to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When sizing joists for special loads (anything other than full-length uniform design loads) When sizing joists for conditions with negative moments, such as cantilevered joists and/or joists with intermediate supports (multi-span conditions). Anytime it is desirable to include the joists and/or Joist Girders directly in the structural model with appropriate approximate section properties. 42

51 How should a Virtual Joist or Virtual Joist Girder be Specified on the Structural Drawings? It is important to specify all joists and Joist Girders using conventional SJI designation nomenclature. The VJ and/or VJG selections cannot be used as a substitute for the joist and Joist Girder designations. It may, at times, be helpful to include these as additional information. However, they do not provide the information needed by the joist manufacturer to design and manufacture the joists and joist girders required for the project. 51

69 Learning Objectives What are the advantages and disadvantages to using classic tools to select conventional standard joists and Joist Girder designations? What are a Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist Girder and how are they used? In what situation might it be advantageous for a Structural Engineer to use the SJI Virtual Joist Table or Virtual Joist Girder Table? When a Virtual Joist or Virtual Joist Girder is used in the building design model, how should it be specified on the contract structural drawings? 69

70 Conclusions The classic tools, though limited, provide a very effective means of selecting standard joists with appropriate designations. Popular structural design packages are beginning to incorporate Virtual Joists and Virtual Joist Girders, thereby allowing more modeling flexibility. For simple-span uniformly loaded conditions, the classic tools are simple, accurate and easy to use. For complex loading and/or complex support conditions, the VJ and VJG tables provide a good tool for incorporation in the structural model. Current use of VJ and VJG requires the user to manually follow up with their own standard format designation for use on Structural Framing Plan. Some structural software packages are now working toward incorporating VJ and VJG in such a way as to automate the accompanying standard format designation. 70
