Back to back parallel flange / spacer beam
In projects such as loft conversions or roofs it is preferable to replace a deep beam with two smaller beams. To ensure stability to buckling, these beams are bolted together and this is where a spacer beam is used.Cranked beam
A cranked beam is an angled beam with two kinks, which makes a 90-degree angle. Main function of this beam is to support roof structures due to their shape. Added to this, full penetration welds are used for these connections to carry the load.Top plate
Top plate is commonly used to when beam is smaller than the wall and needs to be resized.Haunch
The main principle principle of a haunch beam is framing into the columns reduces the design moment and deflection of the beams.Stiffener
A stiffener is a secondary section that is attached to beam webs or flanges. It's goal is to stiffen them from any deformations.Flitch plate
This structure is generally attached to the flitch beam. The main reason why these plates are needed is to connect to timber joists at a point where shear and bending occurs.Splice connection
Splices are used when a beam is too heavy or too long to install or transport safely. The flange plates need to be at least the same thickness as the beam's flange, and the same rule applies to the web plates.Bottom plate
Bottom plate is attached to a beam and its role is to support timber joists or brickwork. This connection is welded to one side of the beam in order to effectively support brickwork.Other MAH products
