High Performance Alternative to F17 Hardwood from Hyne

Hyne LVL E-Beam+ engineered beams offer structural properties that are equivalent to or better than hardwood F17 at competitive prices and is engineered to maximise the efficient use of material and time. Because it is engineered, Hyne LVL E-Beam+ performs consistently and reliably and its behaviour is more predictable than traditional timber products.

This makes it easier to work with and reduces the builder's exposure to future maintenance problems.

Uniform engineering properties, high strength to weight ratio and availability in long lengths to suit specific jobs, makes Hyne LVL E-Beam+ a preferred choice over alternative building products.

Characteristic Design Values
Stress grade - F17
Characteristic strength, MPa
Bending (f/b) - 50
Tension parallel to grain (f/t) - 30
Shear in beam (f/s) - 4.3
Compression parallel to grain (f/c) - 40

The characteristic design values of Hyne LVL E-Beam+ apply only when the moisture content of the LVL is below 15% in service and are for 'on edge' orientation of the LVL section only.

Multiple Hyne LVL E-Beam+ Sections
The use of multiple Hyne LVL E-Beam+ sections is permitted using vertically nail laminated members. Multiple Hyne LVL E-Beam+ members are to be nailed laminated in accordance with C1 2.3 of AS1684.2 - 1997. For assistance with the engineering design of multiple Hyne LVL E-Beam+ members please call your Hyne Technical Advisor.
