    Steel Joist

    Normally the moment of inertia is not given for Steel Joists in vendor catalog information, making it difficult to calculate any other cases except uniformly distributed loads. the following procedure can derive this variables formula for any given steel joist. The uniform loads at given spans are usually given as pounds per foot that will cause A 1/360 deflection at center span, this allows us to insert the 1/360 deflection into the equation and simply solve for moment of inertia. After obtaining the moment of inertia the section modulus which is simply the moment of inertia divided by the distance of the most remote fiber from the neutral axis (assumed in this case to be the center of the xx axis of the joist) can be obtained.

    Normally the moment of inertia is not given for Steel Joists in vendor catalog information,
    making it difficult to calculate any other cases except uniformly distributed loads.
    the following procedure can derive this variables formula for any given steel joist.
    The uniform loads at given spans are usually given as pounds per foot that will cause
    A 1/360 deflection at center span, this allows us to insert the 1/360 deflection into
    the equation and simply solve for moment of inertia.
    After obtaining the moment of inertia the section modulus which is simply the
    moment of inertia divided by the distance of the most remote fiber from the
    neutral axis (assumed in this case to be the center of the xx axis of the joist) can be obtained.
