In steel beam framing, what does intentionally induced upward camber mean?

Correct Answer

A) A deliberate upward curve to offset expected deflection

Induced camber pre-curves the member so expected loading brings it closer to the intended profile. It is distinct from natural mill curvature and does not eliminate the need to check strength and deflection. Coating defects, field-weld symbols and hole covers are unrelated.
