Steel Joist Design Results

Steel joist design results and inadequacies of steel joists are displayed in the Steel Joists dialog. The diagonals dialog displays the axial compressive strength ratio, slenderness control, and design ratio.

Location of the Steel Joists Dialog

After the analysis is done, you can access it by clicking the Steel Joist command under the Steel Design heading in the ribbon menu Analysis and Design tab .
