About this asset

This Posi-Joist PS10 open web timber beam for Revit features steel web connectors for efficient structural floor and roof framing. The Posi-Joist PS10 is a high-performance open web beam designed for structural floor and roof applications. It comprises parallel timber chords connected by distinctive, V-shaped pressed steel webs. These metal webs are fixed to the timber members with integrated teeth, providing significant structural rigidity while maintaining a lightweight profile. The open-web configuration allows for the easy integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services through the floor or roof zone. The timber elements are rendered with a natural wood grain, while the steel webs are finished in a neutral grey tone.

The download is a 5 MB 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.

In Revit, this family is utilised as a structural framing component. Users can load the RFA file into a project and place it as a beam along defined grid lines or structural paths. The object supports span adjustments and can be integrated into structural analytical models. Users should ensure the family is mapped to the correct structural category for accurate scheduling and material takeoff, and adjust the instance parameters to match project-specific depth and span requirements.

This structural element is ideal for residential and commercial construction projects requiring long-span floor or roof systems. It is commonly specified by structural engineers and architects during the design development and construction documentation stages. The open-web design is particularly useful in multi-storey buildings where services must be routed through the floor zone without compromising structural integrity. Professionals might search for this component when looking for timber-steel hybrid framing solutions, floor trusses, or open-web joist systems for modern building projects.
