The Steel Joist Institute (SJI) is hosting a “Design of Steel Deck for Concentrated and Non-Uniform Loading” webinar in partnership with the Steel Deck Institute on Wednesday, June 20 from 3:00-4:15 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 are frequently met with concentrated loads caused by rack systems, forklifts, scissor lifts, mechanical equipment, remote terminal units and other dead, live or construction loads. This webinar will provide designers with the rationale needed to better analyze these loading conditions to ensure proper design.
