It's been a pleasure working with the Steel Joist Institute to update the UL fire listings for open-web steel joists. Many listings were based on fire tests of joists with bar webs, whereas today angles and cold-formed channel shapes are common web members. We're using analytical approaches to understand how these different types of joists perform when heated and whether the UL listings should be updated to reflect performance differences.
