Long Span Open Web Joists
Wide Bay System
Nucor Building Systems provides open web joists designed to function as an integral part of the pre-engineered system. Joists are very suitable for the support of floors, roof decks, and standing seam roofs. Joists are generally more economical when bay sizes are wider than 30 feet or when roof loads are excessive. "K" series joists are normally used up to 60 feet, while the "LH" and "DLH" series joists are normally used from 60 to 120 feet.
The use of NUCOR "CLASSIC ROOF"™ panels on joists is not recommended. Open web steel joists are designed and fabricated according to Steel Joist Institute specifications.
Hardwall Wide Bay System
This is a Hardwall system, where the perimeter is masonry or concrete, and is designed as load bearing shearwalls. The need for wall columns is eliminated, therefore, offering more free space and hardwall security. Roof diaphragm action, roof plane bracing, eave trusses, along with shearwalls are needed to provide lateral stability for the structure.
