Our Structural Design Services

Steel Joist & Girder Detailing

Steel joists and girders form the backbone of structural framing in many commercial and industrial buildings, supporting floors and roofs with efficiency and strength. At Consac, we specialize in providing comprehensive steel joist and girder detailing services that meet rigorous industry standards and client requirements.

Our experienced team of structural engineers, detailers, project managers, and checkers collaborates closely throughout every project phase to deliver precise and constructible detailing. We adhere strictly to the Steel Joists Institute (SJI) standards, which define the requirements for design, fabrication, and erection of steel joists and girders. This ensures that our detailing aligns perfectly with code and project specifications.

Steel Joist Offerings

We provide detailed erection and placement drawings for all common steel joist types including Open Web Steel Joists (K-Series), Deep Longspan (DLH-Series), Longspan (LH-Series), as well as single pitched, double pitched, and bowstring joists. Each drawing includes critical information such as member sizes, connection details, seat designs with stiffeners, and bridging layouts to ensure structural stability and ease of installation.

Our detailing process also includes the preparation of accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) which lists every component required for fabrication and erection. This reduces errors, prevents material shortages, and supports efficient project planning. We optimize joist and girder sizing to reduce weight and cost without compromising strength or safety, resulting in economic and time-efficient solutions.

Woodnailer Joist Detailing

Wood Nailer Joist Detailing

Wood nailer joist detailing plays a crucial role in modern steel and concrete construction systems, especially in roofing assemblies. Wood nailers are installed on top of steel or concrete joists to provide a stable and secure surface for attaching roofing materials, curbs, mechanical equipment, and other structural elements. These wooden members act as critical interface components that support both structural stability and installation flexibility.

At Detailedge, our wood nailer joist detailing services are designed to ensure structural compatibility, precise execution, and long-term durability. With close attention to technical detailing, material performance, and industry best practices, we ensure that wood nailers perform optimally in any construction setting—be it commercial, industrial, or institutional.

Key Elements of Consac Woodnailer Joist Detailing

Shear Stud Layout

Shear stud layout is a critical aspect of composite steel construction, which involves connecting steel beams to concrete slabs to function as a single structural unit. Shear studs, welded onto steel beams, act as connectors that allow the concrete slab and steel beam to share loads effectively, improving overall structural performance and durability.

At Consac, we understand that an optimized shear stud layout is key to ensuring the safety and longevity of composite structures. Our experienced engineers carefully calculate the number, size, and spacing of shear studs based on load requirements, beam dimensions, and building codes. This detailed planning prevents shear failure and allows for effective load transfer between steel and concrete.

Proper shear stud placement also minimizes deflection and enhances the rigidity of floors and roofs. Our team uses advanced software and industry guidelines to create precise shear stud layouts tailored to each project’s unique needs. This meticulous detailing supports efficient fabrication, reduces construction risks, and contributes to cost savings by avoiding overuse of materials.

Why Choose Our Shear Stud Layout Services?

Joist Estimation

Joist Estimation

Accurate joist estimation is essential for project budgeting, material procurement, and scheduling. Over- or under-estimating joists can lead to increased costs or construction delays. Consac offers a comprehensive joist estimation process tailored to your project’s unique needs.

Our Joist Estimation Process

Gather Project Information

We begin by collecting detailed project data such as building dimensions and design criteria.

Identify Load Requirements

We assess the loads the joists must support, including live, dead, and environmental loads.

Calculate Joist Lengths

Precise length calculations ensure joists fit perfectly within the structure.

Account for Overhangs

Any joists that extend beyond supports are accounted for in the design.

Add Extra Material

We include contingency allowances for waste and unforeseen adjustments.

Consult Suppliers

We coordinate with suppliers to confirm material availability and specifications.

Create a Material List

We compile a detailed list of required materials for smooth procurement.

This careful and thorough estimation approach saves time, reduces waste, and helps keep your project within budget.
