SJI Announces Webinar on Design of Steel Deck for Concentrated and Non-Uniform Loading
The Steel Joist Institute is hosting a new webinar “Design of Steel Deck for Concentrated and Non-Uniform Loading” in partnership with the Steel Deck Institute on Wednesday, March 21 from 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m. EDT, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.
Steel floor and roof deck manufacturers publish load tables for uniform loads, but what if the loads on your project are not uniform? Designers frequently face concentrated loads caused by rack systems, forklifts, scissor lifts, mechanical equipment, RTUs, and other dead, live or construction loads. This webinar will provide designers with the rationale needed to better analyze these loading conditions to ensure a proper design.
