Location of min/max camber
Location of min/max camber
(OP)
I have to apologize for this question, but where do you find the minimum and maximum cambers for steel shapes? I have been looking through the 13th edition steel manual, but can't find it. I found it once before, but didn't tab it.






RE: Location of min/max camber
1. when the required camber is less than 3/4"
2. Length of beam less than 24'
3. web thicness less than or equal to 1/4
4. Spanderl beams
5. Beams in moment frames
6. Beams shallower than 14"
7. Beams subject to significant twist
8. Beams with cantilevers
9. Beams with braces framing into them
10. Beams with a non uniform cross section
11. Beams with significant non symmetric loading.
I usually do 4" max camber as my default on my software. good luck.
Never, but never question engineer's judgement

Looking back over several office building jobs over the last several years, I have often shown 1" to 1.5" camber for 60' to 70' W30's. The local fabricators don't seem to have a problem with this, as I have never had a question on it.
