What are the advantages of open web steel joist?
yes
List the common one-way and two-way concrete framing systems and indicate the possibilities and limitations of each?
One-way-solid slab flexible but limited in span. one way concrete joist system allows longer spans. Wide module or skip system allows longer span and uses less concrete than the one-way joist system. Slab bands or joist bands may be used with these systems, They serve to reduce the spans of the slabs to conserve headroom in the building.
 Two- way-2 way solid slab rarely used but useful where loads are heavy. Two-way flat slab good for heavy loading, two-way flat plate good for lighter floor loading. Very flexible in column locations. Conserves headroom in buildings. Two-way concrete joists or waffle systems good for long spans.

Why are the girders made of i shape?
It allows the girders to be lighter. If you took a solid piece of steel in a square shape and exposed it to stressed, you would discover that the stress in the metal is on the top face and the bottom face. The middle sections do not add to the structural strength of the beam, they simply add weight.
How far can a deck joist overhang the girder it rests on?
It depends on the joist thickess, spacing and load it is carrying. There is not a answer without more information.

What is the different between steel joist and steel girder?
A girder is the primary horizontal member carying loads from other beams and slabs connected to it. That is a girder has other beams connecting to it on its sides .Typically beams do not have other beams connecting to it but generally have only slabs transferring the loads to it. The case is similar to beam and joist combination where the closely spaced joists (floor joist and ceiling joist) transfer the loads to the beam but usually from the top rather than from the sides.

Why girder are you shaped?
A building girder can be U shaped for several different reasons. The shape of the building girder will determine how much weight the girder can carry and how much side to side stress it can withstand.
What are the ends of the joist nailed too?
Floor joist or ceiling joist? Floor joist have a board on the end all the way along the side of the building called a rim joist. Like the cross bar on the top of a T. Ceiling joist are nailed down into the top plate of the wall and to the rafters where possible.
