Existing 1936 floor framing specifies the following:
"4-14 V-Beam at 2'-0" oc"
I need to have this floor system support new moveable partitions. I will need to reinforce this existing V-Beam structure. I believe these V-Beams to be open-web steel joists. But, the 60-year SJI manual does not recognize a V-Beam that I can see. I need to determine the Sx and Ix of these. If I must, I'll assume L1x1x1/8 T&B flanges. But, I'd rather not make assumptions.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
