Abstract: A composite floor system includes a plurality of joists, each having a top and bottom chord and a web in the space between the chords. The top chord is formed with a pair of horizontally extending legs and at least one vertical leg. The top of the web is attached to the bottom surface of the top chord. Metal decking is supported by the horizontal legs of the top chord of adjacent joists and a concrete slab is poured on the decking and encloses the vertical leg of the top chord.
