This product presents certain advantages that make it the most efficient structure for spans relatively long and/or heavy loads. Some of the advantages we will find are: |
Economy. Being an open web element and with variable section elements in their web, we can generate large clear spans with minimum weight. Since the design ensures the elements are working at their maximum capacity.
Safety. As a Steel Joist Institute (SJI) certified product, it is guaranteed that materials, design and manufacturing process are of the highest quality in the market.
Slight deflection. Due to their depth, joists can withstand larger clear spans with minimum deflection, furthermore, joist are manufactured in our shop with standard camber.
Allows installations to pass thru inside buildings. As a result from its geometric features, ducts and installations can pass through its web and easily hold to chords.
Simple Connections. Joist are manufactured with standard bearing seats that make it easy to erect and connect to other elements.
Simple reinforcements. If we have additional loads not considered in the original design and if they are required, joist can be reinforced quite easily.
