Joists – SmartFrame by Tilling

TecBeam

root — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 03:18:58 +0000

TECBEAM®is a composite structural I-beam which has a continuous galvanised steel web and LVL flanges resulting in a lightweight beam with structural properties more resembling those of a steel beam rather than a solid beam.

Structural Beam within the Floor Envelope
Unlike any other timber I-beams, the TecBeam can be used as a structural beam within a floor or roof solution. This unique property allows designers and detailers to realise structural solutions within the floor envelope. The use of TecBeams can often eliminate steel beams, with significant savings.

Point Loads
High concentrated loads can be placed anywhere along the flange because of the continuous steel web support and load sharing capabilities. With the ability to sustain between 10-15kN load, TecBeam joists are ideally suited to residential, commercial and industrial structures where there are high uniform and concentrated loads. The SmartFrame Design Centre staff are always available to assist with a solution.

Offset loads
TecBeam joists have proven performance in supporting large permanent loads such as tiled roofs, aerated concrete and screeded floors thanks to its rigidity and lower creep factor. The designer can take advantage of this feature to eliminate beams that would normally be used under load bearing walls.

Cantilevers
Due to the unique web design, TecBeam® can be used to achieve cantilevers in two directions by running structural elements perpendicular to TecBeam cantilever joists.

SJ25570 Set-Down Joist

The SJ255’s high strength web and long spans allow greater design flexibility for builders than ever before. The SJ255 set-down joist allows builders to easily provide a set-down and screed detail where they want to continue tiles across a floor into the wet area. Previous approaches to set-down wet areas using timber I-Joists were complicated and relatively expensive (lots of brackets, blocking etc). The SJ255 simplifies assembly and is more economical, so a superior bathroom finish can be achieved with easy assembly of the floor structure, and lower cost.

Convenience of service penetrations

Like all other SmartJoist products, the SJ255 includes a 40mm knock-out hole at 450mm centres along the web, for small diameter services or wiring. Larger service holes can easily be accommodated. Tilling Timber runs CNC machinery to provide pre-cut service penetrations in SmartJoist, free of charge.

Design Service

For the ultimate in convenience, the SmartFrame Design Centre can design floor systems from engineering and architectural drawings. This approach provides accuracy, efficiency and peace of mind for any builder. A clear, easy to read colour A3 layout is provided along with an installation guide, and the SmartJoist is supplied labelled and with pre-cut penetrations cut in the web of the SmartJoists where requested.

Best Performance

SmartJoists are engineered for heavy performance. We start with untrasonically graded LVL, bonded with exterior adhesive for more load carrying capacity. The webs are made from stable, strong Oriented Strand Board (OSB) for superior strength and consistent performance. All material is H2S treated for termite protection south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Full H2 treatment is also available.
