Hello all -
I'm a mech engineer, not a structural engineer, so my apologies if I get some of this terminology wrong. I have a mezzanine composed of 19W4 steel grating laid over steel C-channel joists. I want to understand the load capacity of those joists, but I'm not sure where to find relevant load/span charts.
The joists in question are formed from sheet steel, I think 11-gauge. They are three inches wide, with 1.5" lips. Some are 11" tall, others are 15 " tall. Here's a SolidWorks rendering of the two sizes shown side by side:
Any suggestions on where to go for load/span information on these things?
