This is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of steel joists considered as simple-span beams subjected to virtually any type of loading configuration. Specifically, beam end reactions as well as the maximum moments and deflections are calculated. Plots of both the shear and moment diagrams are produced, as well as a tabulation of the shear, moment, slope, and deflection for the joist span. There are two

worksheets for selecting K-series and LH-series joists, and 2 worksheets which are the SJI Standard Load Tables. This program is a workbook consisting of eight (8) worksheets, described as follows:
