Joist Girder - End Details

Contains settings that specify details about the ends of the joist girder you are modeling. Key in values for seat height, seat bearing and chord extensions. A schematic diagram of a bar joist end configuration is provided as a reference.

Setting	Description
End 1 Details	Contains settings that determine the configuration at the joist girder's first bearing end. Seat Bearing (SB) — Determines the length of the seat bearing member which rests on the support member/element. Top Chord Ext. (TCX) — Determines the distance the top chord extends beyond the seat bearing point. Bottom Chord (BCX) — Determines the distance the bottom chord extends inside the seat bearing point.
End 2 Details	Contains settings that determine the configuration at the joist girder's second bearing end. Seat Bearing (SB) — Determines the length of the seat bearing member which rests on the support member/element. Top Chord (TCX) — Determines the distance the top chord extends beyond the seat bearing point. Bottom Chord (BCX) — Determines the distance the bottom chord extends inside the seat bearing point.
