Problems with Industry Standard for Erecting Open Web Steel Joists
Open web steel joists are most always specified by the joist manufacturer to be erected in accordance with Technical Digest No. 9 of the Steel Joist Institute. During the investigation of a collapse of deep longspan steel joists, the issue of whether the contractor and erector followed the requirements of Technical Digest No. 9 came up, and whether not following them contributed to the collapse. This paper examines some of the requirements of Technical Digest No. 9, their relationship to the collapse, and their implications on erection practices.
