Product/Service Name
designIT® series 3
ApplicationsSoftware for the design of hySPAN®, hyJOIST®* and other selected materials for houses and similar structures. Quick and simple to use yet deceptively powerful software, designIT® is useful for the selection of beam sizes without the need for engineering knowledge or the exercise of professional engineering judgement. Based upon AS 1684.1 design criteria and the current AS/NZS 1170 – 2002 design requirements.
• Includes options for design with commonly available stress grades of timber and glue-laminated timber.
• Caters for a range of floor live loads needed for design of decks, balconies and residential apartment buildings (up to 3.0 kPa / 2.7 kN).
• Includes a Floor Joist Calculator to allow consideration of actual load and support conditions for optimum design, web hole placement and specification of hangers.
• Bearer Calculator (similar to the Floor Joist Calculator) allows consideration of a wide range of load and support conditions including offset and parallel load bearing walls and support of concentrated loads to provide optimum solutions without the need for engineering design.
• Incorporates hyJOIST ‘OPTIONS RANGE’ for more economical floor designs.
* hyJOIST was introduced to replace hyBEAM in March, 2006
SizeshyJOIST: Ten sizes: HJ200 45 (200 mm); HJ240 45 (240 mm); HJ240 63 (240 mm); HJ240 90 (240 mm); HJ300 45 (300 mm); HJ300 63 (300mm); HJ300 90 (300mm); HJ360 63 (360 mm); HJ360 90 (360 mm); HJ400 90 (400 mm) - up to 13.2m in length
hySPAN: Four thicknesses: 36mm, 45mm, 63mm, 75mm; up to 12m in length. Longer lengths subject to enquiry.
General AdvantagesThe designIT series 3 Floor Joist Calculator is an easy to use, quick and ef?cient way to size floor joists and take advantage of the hyJOIST Options Range. With up to three hyJOIST sections in each common floor depth covering off a wider range of spans, you can use the calculator to quickly design the combination of sections needed to produce the most economical layout to meet your floor performance requirements.
