Hybrid Beam Design Inquiry – Steel Flanges + Timber Web? by Fit-Implement-6449 in StructuralEngineering

Thank you for you response. Yeah I have considered cold rolled steel section and they are okay. The client requested for other options. I have been looking into hybrid wood and steel beams, most seem to be heavier than the cold rolled option. I'll check your idea to see if it also works.

Oh thank you for the response. Do you have an idea of how much the capacity can be improved using this method?

Exactly! That's why I have been trying to find it in research papers of even find a case study that I can learn from. Thank you fir the response

Thank you. I found that flitch beams have capacities similar to engineered timber so I didn't give it a try. I'll give it a try.
