2. Stub-girder system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub-girder_system

   A stub-girder system (or stub girder system) is a model of steel frame structures consisting of beams and decking, originally developed in the early 1970s in part by Joseph Colaco of Ellisor Engineers Inc.. [1] [2] Short lengths of stub girders the same depth as the floor beams are welded to the tops of the main girders to provide a connection ...

3. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

   The CJ-Series Joists are capable of supporting larger floor or roof loadings due to the attachment of the concrete slab to the top chord of the composite joist. Shear connection between the concrete slab and steel joist is typically made by the welding of shear studs through the steel deck to the underlying CJ-Series Composite Steel Joist. [2]

4. T-beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-beam

   The T-beam has a big disadvantage compared to an I-beam (with 'Ɪ' shape) because it has no bottom flange with which to deal with tensile forces, applicable for steel section. One way to make a T-beam more efficient structurally is to use an inverted T-beam with a floor slab or bridge deck joining the tops of the beams. Done properly, the slab ...

5. I-joist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-joist

   Mismatches can strain the joist. A similar situation occurs where the I-joist crosses a main beam. Installing squash blocks (2×4 materials 1 ⁄ 16 in or 1.6 mm higher than the I-joist) alongside the I-joists transfers the load from the I-joist onto the beam. Missed nails and glue setting too fast can lead to an uneven or squeaky floor. [3]

6. Joist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joist

   The term binding joist is sometimes used to describe beams at floor level running perpendicular to the ridge of a gable roof and joined to the intermediate posts. Joists which land on a binding joist are called bridging joists. [3] [4] A large beam in the ceiling of a room carrying joists is a summer beam. A ceiling joist may be installed flush ...

7. Structural insulated panel - Wikipedia

   Also of note is that when needed for special circumstances longer spans can often be requested, such as for a long roof span. Typical U.S. height for panels is 8 or 9 feet (2.4 or 2.7 m). Panels come in widths ranging from 4 to 12 inches (100–300 mm) thick and a rough cost is $4–$6/ft 2 in the U.S. [ 5 ] In 4Q 2010, new methods of forming ...
