Steel Floor - One-Way, Light-Gauge Joist
Steel Floor - One-Way, Light-Gauge Joist
One-way light-gauge steel floor systems incorporate thin, lightweight steel members, akin to wood joists, for floor support. These steel joists are arranged parallel to each other and span in one direction between the primary structural supports. Similar to traditional wood joist framing, the light-gauge steel joists bear the load of the floor and transfer it to the supporting structural elements, like walls or beams. This system is favored for its ease of installation, lighter weight compared to heavier steel I-beams, and the benefits of steel over wood, such as resistance to rot, termites, and fire, while providing comparable structural performance.
Light-Gauge One-Way Steel Floors are constructed in a range of sizes with spacing of 16”, 24” (40.6, 61 cm) and typical spans between 10’-30’ (3.05-9.14 m). Light-Gauge One-Way Steel Floors have depths between 4”-14” (10.2-35.6 cm) with beam widths of 1.5”-2.5” (3.8-6.4 cm).
