Long Span Steel Joist

[bsamuel]

Can anyone help me find where the Long Span Steel Joist, (36" Depth) style is located, or do I have to draw it, if so are there any suggestions.

Thank You

Not sure if this is what you need:

Most of the Structural styles are in the Format > Structural Member Wizard. Then you can select a style and modify it's dimensions.

From the Help in ADT 2005:
You can access predefined styles for custom structural members from the Member Styles and Bar Joists Styles drawings located in the \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\ADT 2005\enu\Styles\Imperial folder.

Alas, the bar joist styles only go up to 30" deep. Perhaps you could reverse engineer one to create a 36" deep style of your own?

Thanks, But I found the 36" deep Long Span steel girders in the Download section.

It's actually not that hard to create a open web style truss. The question is, how much detail do you want?? It involves multiple design rules (i.e.: chords) & custom blocks in the appropriate display configuration (i.e.: webs).

It's pretty neat to be able to create your own structural object & get it to do what you want.

We just implemented the use of ADT 6 months ago. I would like to create a double-pitched joist style. Where (or what book) can I learn how to create this joist style?

Thanks,

You could use the process used to form pitched truss to form a double pitch.

Hope this gives you what you need.
