(OP)
I wanted to find out minimum span required for 'Beam" and "Truss" when camber must be provided.
Will appreciate a response.

RE: Camber Requirements
As an example:
A beam (or truss) 36' long with a deflection criteria of say L/360, would have camber of 1". While a beam (or truss) 4.5' long with the same deflection criteria would have a camber of 1/8".

Practically, camber is not appreciated by most fabricators since it is expensive, time consuming process and the end result accuarcy is rarely close to your calculation specially when the camber is very small (less than an inch).
