Flitch Beam Design & Software
December 12th, 2007Accurate Flitch Beam Design Made Easier with Software
Flitch beam design software is a useful tool for architects, engineers, designers, and builders. Flitch beams are a common type of composite construction. Composite construction materials are formed by combining two or more materials in a way that allows them to function as a single component structurally. Flitch beams are created by layering wood beams with steel plates or plywood in order to form a wider, lighter structural beam. Bolts hold the layered components together to form a single unit.
These advantages make flitch beams a desirable and attractive choice in light frame construction projects:
