Have an existing building with 24H7 type K open web bar joists. Is that supported for checking design loads especially with snow drift? Thanks.

Hello Steve, welcome to the ClearCalcs community on Blueprint! :blush:

ClearCalcs supports open web steel joists for flat roofs through our Steel Joist Calculator, which adheres to U.S. building standards, specifically the Steel Joist Institute’s SJI 100-2020 and SJI Load Tables.

For a practical demonstration, here’s a worked example detailing the design process of open web steel joists on the roof of a single-story commercial building:
