JOIST AND STRUCTURAL GLOSSARY

The code specified lateral load (non-factored) due to wind is 0.3 kips per linear foot. The depth of the girder used is 54 inches. In the three dimensional finite element analysis a pressure loading of 65 lb/ft2 was applied to outside girder (perpendicular to the web face), which is approximately equivalent to 0.3 kips per linear ft wind load. ................
