Using SJI’s Virtual Joists and Joist

Girders in SCIA Engineer


JUNE 1, 2016

Copyright © 2016 Steel Joist Institute. All Rights Reserved.

Presented by:
David Samuelson, P.E., Nucor New Products and Market Development
Ben Follett, P.E., SCIA
Learning Objectives
•  Demonstrate and explain how to specify SJI’s Open Web Virtual
Joists and Virtual Joist Girders within SCIA Engineer.

•  Demonstrate and explain how to specify loads on Virtual Joists and


Virtual Joist Girders within SCIA Engineer.

•  Demonstrate and explain how SJI’s “Standard” Joists and Joist


Girders may be selected within SCIA Engineer.

•  Explain what SJI’s Open Web Steel Virtual Joists and Joist Girders
are and how the tables were developed.

•  Receive general explanation and tips on how to operate SCIA


Engineer in the most efficient manner.

Classic Roof and Floor Framing Programs

“Standard” SJI joists only managed as


simple-span infill joists supporting
vertical gravity loads.

3
SJI’s Virtual Joist and Virtual Joist
Girder Load Tables
Standard programs such as SCIA
Engineer do an excellent job of selecting
“Standard” SJI joists.

Standard Joists Selected Based on
Span and Uniform Loading

Classic Roof and Floor Framing Programs

“Standard” joist
designations and
definition do not
address
concentrated loads,
end moments,
negative moments
or axial loads.

6
What are Virtual Joist / Virtual Joist
Girder Tables
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 (Ixx) is based directly on
a pair of double angle joist chords and pre-adjusted for
approximate deflection contribution from web strain.
Allows joists and Joist Girders to be checked for flexure,
shear, axial, and combined forces by treating them as
doubly symmetric I –shaped beam sections.
Can be inserted into stiffness based structural analysis
programs such as SCIA Engineer.

7
What are Virtual Joist / Virtual Joist
Girder Tables
Virtual joist and Virtual Joist Girder tables allow
joist member stiffness to be accounted for in the
overall building model.
They do yield reasonably close approximations
of the final joist /Joist Girder chord area,
effective moment of inertia, and weight for use in
structural models.
Once the building model is completed, standard
SJI joist and Joist Girder designations are called
out on the plans.

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.

SJI’s Virtual Joists permit the determination of joist
weight and effective Ixx for complex load cases.

Recent incorporation of SJI’s Virtual Joist and Joist


Girder Tables within SCIA Engineer allows one to
readily determine Joist / Joist Girder weights and
effective moments of inertia in a lateral load resisting
frame.

Utilizing SJI’s Virtual Joist / Virtual Joist Girder


Tables, one can now determine the estimated weight
and cost for complex loaded “Special” joists and
non-symmetrically loaded Joist Girders.
