Design of a timber beam (BS 5268) A timber beam with a clear span of 2.85 m supports a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN including self-weight of beam. Determine a suitable section for the beam using timber of strength class C16 under service class 1. Assume that the bearing length is 150 mm and that the ends of the beam are held in position and compression edge held in line. W = 10 KN BH 2850- 150- - 150
