This document provides best practice for the use and application of steel and aluminium prefabricated beams. Included is information regarding beam types, uses, joints, handling, transportation and storage. Due to the wide variation of beams available on the market, it has not been possible to include individual load capacities, but information regarding tension and compression chords, correct methods of lacing, bracing and connections to standards and puncheons provides vital information to ensure that beams are correctly installed to support their maximum safe working loads. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
