I am planning to add a Trus Joist TJI constant shear joist table to Ram SS. I have done similar tables for other joists. To get the deflection close, I modify the moment of inertia by the modular ratio of the Modulus of Elasticity of the joist to steel. I am a little lost trying to use this approach for TJI joists.
For example, a 14" TJI-210 has an EI = 462 x 10^6 in^2-lbs. The deflection formula is D = 22.5wL^4/EI + 2.67wL^2/(d x 10^5). I think it would be safe to ignore the 2nd term in that equation and the answer would still be close. The second term changes slightly for wider flanges.
w = uniform load (plf), L = span (ft), d = depth of joist (in), D = deflection (in), EI (tabulated)
Can someone show me how to derive a good value for a modified Moment of Inertia I for the Ram SS joist table?
