The Structural Engineer, Volume 25, Issue 11, 1947
The heading of this article may at first appear strange, as every Engineering Handbook contains tables of the properties of Rolled Steel Joists. Such tables usually give the dimensions and weights of the various standard sections, and in addition contain information on their resistance to tension (area), compression (radius of gyration), to bending (section modulus), and to deflection (moment of inertia). Although a wide range of applications of R.S.J.’s is thereby covered, cases occur not infrequently where further information on some particular dimension or property is required. Dr. H. Gottfeldt
