Digging Deeper into the Design of Joists

Course Information
This is a higher-level course having some deeper engineering content. The overall purpose is to have all engineers become more-informed steel joist specifiers, not to turn them into joist engineers. More-informed specifying engineers then can more-efficiently collaborate with New Millennium joist engineers early on a project. Together, we can then accelerate the process, cut costs and improve the project-delivery timeline.
