Cellular Beam Design Software
Technical informationACB® beams are fabricated based on the exclusive use of hot rolled sections.A double cut-out is made in the web by flame cutting. The two obtained T-sections are shifted and rewelded leading to an increase in height.The obtained structural product has an increased ratio of moment of inertia / weight. For a given section, the diameter and the spacing of openings are variable resulting in an extremely adjustable beam geometry and perfect suitability to project requirements.Objective: Optimisation of the height/weight ratioApplications: roofing, gangways/footbridges, wide-span purlinsCommon steel grades: S235, S275, S355Objective: Optimisation of the load/weight ratioApplications: floors, car parks, offshore structuresCommon steel grades: S355, S460, HISTAR® 460Base profiles:IPE300 – IPE750, HE240 – HE1000, HL920 – HL1100, HD260 – HD400, UB305 – UB1016, UC305 – UC356, W310 – W1100. In this technical article, Gian Carlo Giuliani, structural engineer at Redesco, presents the main theory on the fire resistance calculations for structures through the presentation of a case study: the steel structure of a commercial center in Cyprus.
Kloeckner Metals UK Westok pioneered the development of structural steelwork software covering the analysis and design of cellular beams in the 1990s, and the Cellbeam software package has been progressively updated to include Ultra Shallow Floor Beams ® to BS and EC design codes. Structural engineers use our software every day to analyse, design and specify cellular beams, USFBs, and plate beams; to check the vibration performance of the floor; and to utilise our BIM software links to provide an integrated multi-disciplinary design. Westok Revit Family members are also available.Please register below to gain access to our packages:. Cellbeam Version 10.3.1.
