About this asset

This K-Series open web steel joist is a native Revit family engineered for structural framing, featuring a fixed extended end design. The component consists of a standard K-series open web steel joist, designed with a parallel chord configuration and a continuous web system made of angled steel members. It includes a distinct extended end section for bearing support on structural walls or columns. The geometry is defined by upper and lower chords constructed from I-sections, providing a rigid structural profile suitable for floor or roof assemblies. The model maintains consistent proportions across the span, ensuring clean lines in both analytical and physical representations within the BIM environment for accurate structural scheduling.

The download is a 430 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a structural framing family, this item should be loaded into the project and hosted as a beam element. Users can adjust the length and depth parameters to align with project-specific structural grids and load requirements. It is best practice to assign the correct material parameters to ensure accurate weight calculations and analytical model generation. The family is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing structural steel catalogues, allowing for standard connection detailing at the bearing points.

This joist is intended for use in commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential projects requiring long-span structural support. It is commonly specified for roof framing, mezzanine construction, or floor systems where open web configurations are necessary to accommodate MEP service routing. Professionals will find this asset essential during the schematic and construction documentation phases when modelling steel framing layouts. It pairs effectively with steel columns and decking systems, providing a reliable solution for clear-span requirements in modern building design.
