    Flitch Plate Beam

    This document summarizes the design of a flitch plate beam with a 12 foot span to support a live load of 40 psf and dead load of 10 psf. Three designs are considered with wood ply thicknesses of 3 inches, 2 inches, and 4 inches combined with a 1/2 inch or 2 1/2 inch steel plate. The 2 inch design with a 1/2 inch plate is selected as it provides 78% of the required bending moment and passes the other design checks. Bolt spacing and number of end bolts are also calculated.

    Flitch Plate Beam Design

    Structural Properties
    Beam Span: 12 f SPF No 1/2 Steel Plate
    Live Load: 40 psf E = 1,600,000 psi E = 29,000,000 psi
    Dead Load: 10 psf Fb = 1000 psi
    Trib Width: 12 f Fv = 95 psi

    Calculated UDL = 870 plf


    MF = 15660 f-lb Modular Ratio: n= Esteel / Ewood = 18.1
    VF @ d = 4549 lb

    Bolt Design:
    Calculate uniform load on plate
    65% of 870 = 565 plf

    Calculate uniform bolt spacing


    ø (in) Single shear (perpendicular to grain)
    1/2 770 lb = 16.3 " space bolts @ 16 " o.c.
    5/8 1095 lb = 23.2 " space bolts @ 20 " o.c.

    Calculate end reaction on plate


    565 plf x span/2 = 3392 lb

    Calculate the number of end bolts required


    ø (in)
    1/2 3392 / 770 = 4.4 provide 5 bolts at each end of beam
    5/8 /
    3392 1095 = 3.1 provide 4 bolts at each end of beam
