Beam 13 is available with a 600 metre radius providing greater resistance to dead load deflection. This typically results in designers being able to specify a more efficient beam. There are a few key points to consider when using a cambered beam.
When designing a Hyne Beam 13 across a continuous span consider the beam as having no camber i.e., a straight beam.
A cambered beam can typically be used where a straight beam has been specified except when the beam is in a cantilevered application.
Always install with the TOP EDGE marking on the top edge of the beam.
When installing a cambered beam across multiple spans, initially fix the beam to the end supports only. Once the beam is loaded, and the camber is no longer visible, complete the fixing at any intermediate supports.
Hyne Design is a free to register structural design platform for timber designers of all experience levels a tool to specify ITI and Hyne Timber’s broad range of structural timber products, including Hyne Beam 13.
