About this detail

An open web steel joist bears on the top flange of a structural steel beam, with steel roof decking spanning across the top chord. A hollow structural section blocking piece is placed between the joist seats, sized to match the seat depth with a four-inch minimum width and three-sixteenth-inch minimum wall thickness. Steel roof deck connections are installed per the deck fastening schedule, and joist-to-beam connections follow the designated structural details. Where K-series and long-span joists share the same bearing, matching joist seat depths are provided as typical. Where a joist aligns with a steel column, a bearing seat is provided per the referenced standard detail.
