About this detail

Open-web steel joists of type K, LH, or DLH receive reinforcing angles at joist panel points to support concentrated loads on either the top or bottom chord. The reinforcement consists of angles sized L2x2x3/16 on each side, welded with three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds typical at the panel points. This detail applies to all concentrated loads attached to joists, including partitions exceeding one hundred fifty pounds and hanging mechanical steel piping four inches in diameter or larger.
