Concealed Beam Hanger

The BTC is designed for concealed connections between timber joists/beam and the concrete structure. The number of dowels and anchors can be chosen, depending on the applied load. BTC concealed beam hangers are approved to take load in all 3 directions. Therefore beam connections with a roof pitch can also be built in an easy and safe way.

For load combination:

R_2,kcapacities are calculated as R_2,k = R_1,k x (nb of dowels - 1) / (nb of dowels).

The top dowel is not considered for the uplift capacities as it is placed in an open hole.

The anchors resistance and their number have to be checked according to the ETA and the type of header. The number of anchors given in the table is the maximum. If their resistance is decisive, it is the resistance to consider for the connection.
