Hello,
I have a project where I am evaluating a roof for a mechanical unit and have come across a steel joist, see attached picture, I have not seen before and I was wondering if any one here has seen one of these before. The joist has double angle top and bottom chords like a typical steel joist, but the webs alternate between double angles, appear to be compression elements, and round bar for the tension.
Thanks
Phil S.
