Engineers, Architects, Specifying Professionals, Contractors and others trying to identify existing joists found in the field can now fill out the form below, or they can use this downloadable form to provide the necessary information to the SJI office. Please fill out as much information as possible. This will help the SJI office in making an approximation as to the joist size you have submitted, when comparing it to our extensive archived material.
When filling in the form regarding the joist chord and web member properties, it is recommended that the field measurements be taken with a micrometer rather than a tape measure, since thicknesses can vary by as little as 1/64 inch.
