Steel Joist Design in Tekla Tedds

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to quickly specify a steel joist but don't want to create a full 3D model or spend time thumbing through tables manually? If this sounds like you, the Steel Joist Design module in Tekla Tedds is here to help. The Steel Joist Design module rapidly checks the strength capacity and deflection requirements of K, LH and DLH Series joists based on allowable uniform load tables per SJI using either the LRFD or ASD method. A clean output provided with all equations and code references clearly written out allows for quick addition of the design to your calculation package. See the short video above to learn how easy it is to design and document Steel Joists with Tekla Tedds.
