This Second Edition of Technical Digest No. 8 has been developed by an Ad-Hoc Group of the Steel Joist Institute’s Engineering Practice Committee and is an extensive update of the previously written digest.

Welding: Skills, Processes, and Practices for Entry-Level Welders is an exciting new series that has been designed specifically to support the American Welding Society’s (AWS) SENSE EG2.0 training guidelines.

Technical Digest No. 11, the latest in the Steel Joist Institute’s series of publications, illustrates procedures for the structural engineer to properly analyze, design and specify open web steel joist and Joist Girder moment frames to resist wind and seismic lateral loads. The design methodology provided is limited to single-story structures subjected to wind and seismic loads; however, the design procedures are applicable to multi-story moment frames subjected to wind loads.

This 120-page second edition, written by James M. Fisher, Ph.D., P.E., Perry S. Green, Ph.D., and Joseph J. Pote, P.E., is an extensive update of the previously issued Technical Digest No. 11 on joist and Joist Girder moment frames. The digest covers the importance of the relationship between the specifying professional and the joist manufacturer, describes the analysis requirements for modeling the moment frame and provides design methodology for lateral wind loads and seismic loads. It also shows how to properly design and detail the connections and lateral bracing. There is an extensive discussion on the specification of loads and other design requirements that the specifying professional needs to provide to the joist manufacturer. Two detailed design examples are contained in the digest.

Complete listing of U.L. fire rated assemblies containing steel joists. Conveniently arranged by hourly rating, type of protection, insulation, floor/deck type, and minimum joist size and spacing.

This 44-page Digest outlines procedures for the selection of steel joists that are required to meet the stability requirements resulting from the accumulation of water on a roof system, i.e., ponding.
