Hello all,
Good to see the forums are still ticking along, It's been a while since I've had a question for you all and here it is:
Have any of you used composite, or keyed beams before, and had them engineered?
I've been chatting with my engineer and he does not have experience with these.
The situation that has sparked my quest for information was having a beam in one of my current designs spec'd out at 10"x15", which will be difficult for the client to find. I could probably go ahead and design something for my engineer to review, but if he and I are both inexperienced with the subject it may get expensive!
I will include a couple of photos for reference.
thanks in advance.
