What is Flitch Plate Beam Design Guide about?

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.
