    Flitch Plate Beam

    Uploaded by

    David Bell
    The document summarizes the design of a built-up wood beam with steel plate flitch plates to reinforce the beam. The beam has a 12 foot span and is designed to support live and dead loads. The built-up beam is made of 3 layers of 2x lumber with steel plates sandwiched between. Calculations show the built-up beam meets requirements for bending moment, shear and deflection. Bolt spacing and number of bolts at the beam ends are also designed.
