K-Series & LH/DLH-Series tool

You have the option of designating a joist via “lowest weight” or “lowest cost” methods. Choose between ASD or LRFD design methodology, and specify U.S. units of measure or metric. Enter your specifications, click submit and instantly see the joist best suited for your application, PLUS all of its relative data.

As a guide to reducing the costs for labor and scheduling, a one-click feature allows you to view a heavier joist option built with a larger top chord and greater lateral stiffness to eliminate the need for OSHA Erection Bridging. Additional steel joist options relative to your spec are also one simple click away.

All of our new digital tools feature interactive simplicity... tabbed entry fields, drop-down menus for fast specification, plus the ability to go back and change your entries for

on-the-fly optional designations.
