In many construction projects, standard and long-span metal joists have recently replaced wood and fire-resistant construction due to their strength and fire resistance. Steel joists are not fabricated by a traditional steel fabricator; instead they are manufactured by a supplier specializing in the production and design of steel joists. Steel joists are generally used for floor and roof construction. 2, record 1, English, - steel%20joist
