About this episode
Focusing on the Design Considerations for Camber in structural steel elements. It is an educational resource for practicing engineers, written by Lawrence A. Kloiber, PE, and Susan B. Burmeister, PE, that explores the advantages, disadvantages, and potential issues associated with specifying camber. The guide covers the mechanical principles, types of camber (cold/mechanical and heat-induced), and design methodologies for various members like composite beams, trusses, and roof components, while also addressing floor levelness and construction tolerances. Furthermore, it includes "Rules of Thumb" for practical application, offering guidance on when to specify or avoid camber.
