💡 Steel Bar Joist design

ClearCalcs supports open web steel joists (bar joists) for flat roofs through our Steel Joist Calculator, which adheres to U.S. building standards, specifically the Steel Joist Institute’s SJI 100-2020 and SJI Load Tables.

For a practical demonstration, here’s a worked example detailing the design process of open web steel joists on the roof of a single-story commercial building:
