Structure's SSW Joist is a structural open web truss engineered wood component
used as a joist in light commercial applications for both floor and roof construction.
Its simple top chord bearing connection is designed specifically to handle an
eccentric load and eliminate the need of increased building height and notched
plates. The bearing connection promotes ease
of installation requiring only two nails driven through pre-drilled holes. Performance
