H20 Wood Beam for Sewage Treatment Plant Concrete Slab and Wall

Product Description

Product Overview & Dimensions

The H20 timber beam is an engineered wood I-joist specifically designed for formwork and falsework systems. It features a height of 200mm, flange width of 80mm, and web thickness of 27mm with end radii of R5. The beam weighs only 5.0kg per meter, making it easy to handle on site. Its I-section provides excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. The flanges are made from high-grade LVL or finger-jointed solid wood, while the web is typically plywood or OSB. All components are bonded under pressure to ensure structural integrity.

 Load Capacity & Structural Performance

This H20 beam has been tested to EN 13377 standards. It offers a permissible maximum bending moment of 5.0kN·m and a permissible maximum shear force of 11.0kN. The moment of inertia (Ix) is 4290cm4, which gives the beam outstanding resistance to deflection. The flange-web connection uses a mechanical engagement (interlocking) that significantly increases the beam's damage resistance compared to simple glued joints. This allows the beam to carry heavy concrete loads over spans up to 5-6 meters without excessive sagging.

Durability & Applications

All H20 timber beams are treated with water-repellent and preservative chemicals to resist moisture, mold, and insect attack. This treatment extends the service life even in wet concrete environments, and the beams can be reused dozens of times. Typical applications include slab formwork for high-rise buildings, bridge deck falsework, tunnel formwork, and ground slab support. The beams are compatible with standard scaffold couplers and accessories. Choose our H20 beams for a cost-effective, lightweight, and durable formwork solution that meets international safety standards.

FAQ

1. What are the main dimensions of the H20 timber beam?
The beam has a height of 200mm, flange width of 80mm, web thickness of 27mm, and end radius of R5. Standard lengths range from 2.4m to 6.0m, but custom lengths are available.

2. What is the weight of the beam per meter?
The beam weighs 5.0kg per linear meter. For example, a 3.0m beam weighs 15kg, easily carried by one person.

3. What are the load ratings?
Maximum permissible bending moment = 5.0kN·m. Maximum permissible shear force = 11.0kN. The moment of inertia (Ix) is 4290cm4.

4. Is the beam waterproof and rot-resistant?
Yes. The wood is pressure-treated with water-repellent and preservative chemicals, making it resistant to moisture, mold, and decay. It can be used in wet concrete and rainy conditions without swelling or rotting.

5. How are the flange and web connected?
They are joined by a mechanical engagement (interlocking) process, not just glue. This creates a much stronger bond that resists delamination and damage.

6. Which international standard does the beam meet?
The H20 beam is manufactured to EN 13377 (prefabricated timber beams for formwork). It is also CE marked.
