More recently:
Lini,
Does this Beam make my building look too heavy?, Modern Steel Construction, November 2012. (added 11/14/24) - discusses camber mostly on spandrel (slab edge) beams.
Kloiber and Burmeister,
Cambering Considerations, Modern Steel Construction, November 2020.
And AISC Design Guide 36,
Design Considerations for Camber, 2020.
These edits may make things a bit jumbled, but I'm trying to keep things in chronological order, partly. I'll probably move the Downey article down into technical background and replace it with Kloier and Burmeister as it's the most recent of the articles. But, as St. Augustine said, (sort of), "not yet."
