superbeam and flitch plates

Nov 10, 2005 1 Replies

When you add a flitch plate to a timber beam in superbeam, is the spec for 2 such timbers plus the plate, or do you split the timber in half (I don't mean with a hand-saw !). TIA, Simon.



The width you put in is the combined width of the two timbers: for clarity enter it as 2No 47 (etc)
