The Canam Joist is a lightweight, welded open-web steel truss that can be used in both roof and floor systems. They are fabricated according to a standardised process that is compatible with every possible type of building project.

Technical advantages:• Ability to achieve longer spans (24 m and more)

• Minimum volume of materials

• Maximum column-free space facilitating flexible use of floor area and future adaptability

• Fewer foundations reducing time and cost

• Compatibility with other types of structural materials

• Enhanced building layout for handling equipment and systems

• Pre-assembled on the ground

• Easier - Faster - Safer

Environmental benefits: • 100% recyclable

• Minimal site waste

• Clean, dust-free construction process

• Off-site fabrication in a controlled environment = better quality

Cost benefits: • Overall construction costs are reduced

• Shorter construction schedule

ADVANTAGES

Significantly reduced internal columns save time and costs in foundations and erection – and delivers flexible column-free space.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Common configurations

Interior webbing Typical end support

Open-web truss supports WPG supports Concrete beam supports

Fabricated using the same high precision design and manufacturing processes for every single project, the Canam Joist system lets you build across longer spans whilst also reducing the weight of the structure.

Canam Joist may be supported on primary trusses, steel beams, walls or concrete members.

Canam Joists are generally designed as simply supported, with intermediate bracing to provide restraint.

Canam Joists may be used to support vertical loads only, or may be designed in combination with axial loads when they form part of the stability system.

IMPACT ON OTHER TECHNICAL COMPONENTS

Concrete

• Optimal use of foundation blocks• Possibility of using lightweight foundations, thus

allowing for the integration of foamed concrete firewalls

Cladding

• Low joist support height (120 mm)• Shorter or lighter building• Possibility of installing Agryss-type sockets or

equivalent anchors along the perimeter of lifeline posts on Canam Joist components

Roofing

• Wide range of possible headers and large dome lights, without the need for additional header framing

Sprinklers

• Easily installed on chords• Adjacent to the roof (open-web joist support

height of 120 mm)• Direct access, no need for elbow connectors

• Ready to install• Free of obstructions• Minimal adaptation required

• Ready-made supports requiring little or no additional framing

• Ready-made supports requiring no additional framing

Other systems Suspended ceiling Smoke barrier wall

OUR SERVICES

OUR CERTIFICATION AND SPECIFICATIONS

• Provide a preliminary design proposal and drafting of roof components in collaboration with our engineering office (calculations, drawings and detailing).

• Supply welded open-web steel joists fabricated using a standardised manufacturing process to deliver an economic solution that is fully adapted to your building.

• All structural accessories required for the Canam Joist system are designed by Canam. On request by the steelwork contractor, such accessories, which include horizontal bracing, wind post lacing, frames around openings, all connection plates and so, can either be provided by steelwork contractor or by Canam.

• The Canam Joist system is made in Europe under license. The product obtained Marking Accreditation to Execution Class 3 of EN 1090-2+A1 in October 2011 (certificate number 1166-CPR-0186).

• The Canam Joist design has been granted the SCI Assessed status. The full scope of the products covered by the assessment are described in SCI Report RT 1687 (February 2016).

• Joists are made from high-grade steel, hot or cold-formed steel profiles. Fabrication is executed in a specialised shop where the joists are assembled in automated templates and completely welded by certified workers.

• A primary coat of paint is applied in the shop using a dipping tank to protect Canam Joists (Grey RAL 7030 or according to option). It is also possible to have the joists galvanised or to add an additional coat of paint for extra protection.

• Our ongoing quality control system ensures that all our products correspond to your exact specifications.
