Abstract

A joist comprised of at least one cold-formed elongated chord member; a cold-formed web having a plurality of web members and means for securing said web to said chord member.

Claims (39)

1. A joist comprised of:
(a) at least one cold-formed elongated chord member;
(b) a cold-formed web having a plurality of web members;
(c) means for securing said web to said chord member.
2. A joist as claimed in Claim 1 comprising a first and second spaced cold-formed chord member with said web secured to said spaced first and second chord members.
3. A joist as claimed in Claim 2 wherein said securing means comprises fasteners.
4. A joist as claimed in Claim 3 wherein said web includes stiffening means.
5. A joist as claimed in Claim 4 wherein said web comprises a plurality of web members fastened together.
6. A joist as claimed in Claim 5 wherein said web members are segmented.
7. A joist as claimed in Claim 6 wherein one of said web members has a different thickness than the remaining web members.
8. A joist as claimed in Claim 7 wherein each said web segments includes said stiffening means and said stiffening means comprised a first stiffening means at each end of said web segments, and a second stiffening means disposed intermediate said ends of said web segments.
9. A joist as claimed in Claim 8 wherein said second stiffening means include holes adapted to receive bridging means.
10. A supporting surface comprising a plurality of joist, each said joist comprised of:
(a) spaced cold-formed upper and lower metal chord members;
(b) a web intermediate said upper and lower chord members;
(c) fasteners to fasten said web to said upper and lower chord members;
said upper chords disposed in a plane defining said supporting surface.
11. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 10 wherein said web comprises a plurality of web segments, said segments fastened together by mechanical fastening means.
12. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 11 wherein said web segments and upper and lower chord members are coated with a coating material.
13. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 12 wherein at least one of said web segments includes an opening there through, and a stiffening recess for stiffening said web segment.
14. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 13 wherein said stiffening means includes at least one hole adapted to receive a bridging member for bridging adjacent joist together.
15. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 14 wherein one of said web segments has a different thickness than said other web segments.
16. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 15 wherein said chord segments extend longitudinally along a length thereof and said web segments disposed adjacent said ends of said chord members have a greater thickness than said web segments disposed intermediate said ends.
17. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 16 where at least one of said chord members has a length presenting a first portion with a first thickness and a second portion with a second thickness.
18. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 17 wherein said upper and lower chord members each present a horizontal chord extension.
19. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 18 wherein said horizontal chord extensions are disposed symmetrically about said web.
20. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 19 wherein said upper chord member further includes a vertical extension.
21. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 20 wherein said horizontal extensions of said upper chord are adapted to support a deck.
22. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 21 wherein said deck includes composite concrete slab having said vertical said extensions of said upper chord disposed therein.
23. A supporting surface as claimed in Claim 22 wherein said vertical extension includes a spot clinch.
24. A composite floor system comprising:
(a) a plurality of metal joist, said joist comprising:
(i) an upper chord member formed from sheet metal to present a vertical chord extension and horizontal upper chord extensions symmetrically disposed about said vertical extension.

29. A composite floor system as claimed in Claim 28 wherein one of said extensions of said upper chard member includes a spot clinch.
30. A method of producing a joist comprising the steps of:
(a) forming upper and lower chords from sheet metal;
(b) forming at least one web member from sheet metal;
(c) fastening said web between said upper and lower chords with mechanical fasteners.
31. A method is claimed in Claim 30 wherein said web, and upper and lower chords are painted prior to said fastening step.
32. A method is claimed in Claim 31 wherein said web, and upper and lower chords are painted prior to said forming steps.
33. A method is claimed in Claim 32 wherein such sheet metal forming said web and upper and lower chords is stamped to produce holes adapted to receive said fasteners.
34. A method is claimed in Claim 33 including a step of forming a plurality of web members fastened together to define a web.
35. A method is claimed in Claim 34 wherein said web members are selected with different web thickness.
36. A method is claimed in Claim 35 wherein said chord members include reinforced sections to accommodate greater loads.
37. A joist as claimed in claim 6 wherein opposite ends of said upper chord are adapted to be load bearing.
38. A joist as claimed in claim 6 wherein opposite ends of said lower chord are adapted to be load bearing.
39. A joist comprised of:
(a) at least one cold formed elongated chord member;
(b) a cold formed web having a stiffening recess (c) means for securing said web to said chord member.
