This program calculates the steel joist chord moment of inertia assuming the top chord
has an area equal to 1.25 times the bottom chord. This is per a seminar with
Thomas M. Murray. Using this value provides similar results to example 4.6 of the
AISC steel design guide #11 - "Floor Vibrations Due to Human Activity". It
should be noted that an example in the SJI technical digest #5 - "Vibration of steel
joist-concrete slab floors" assumes the top chord area is 1.1 times the bottom chord.
"Ex 4.6 revised" on the steel beam worksheet vs the steel joist worksheet demonstates
the difference the joist seat makes in the system flexability.
