Historical Steel Joist Info

[squir999]

I missed sliderulera's website by a few months, it seems, and the wayback machine didn't save any of the bar joist information stuff on the "Contributions by Others" page. Would anyone be willing to share a dropbox link with that stuff in it? I believe I am specifically interested in the Macomb catalogs for this project, but deal with it enough to need all of them so whatever people can/will share would be amazing.

I may have gotten these two catalogs from SRE

here's the other Macomber. I have about a dozen more joist catalogs; even though I don't do building work too often always good to have

I also have about two dozen files on piles and foundations from SRE's site, and about 40 steel manuals from the late 19th C/early 20th C that he was kind enough to post.

Thank you so much! I will gladly take any and all steel joist stuff. I get a lot of RTUs on old rooftops.

Well. It looks like I have a joist that has a V section top and bottom chord, but with round bars for the web members, which is not like the J and H series (because bottom chord is not a B section but a V section), and not like the VV joists because the web members are not rectangular. It looks like I need the Allspan, or Double V joists from the 50's (unless I missed it in the files you gave me, bridgebuster, but I only see 40's and 60's). Does anyone have that one?

Have you reached out to SJI? They typically have access to all these old catalogs.

Yes I just did, after thinking I'd finally found it online and then giving up. Ha.
