Multi Storey Building - Primary Beam
v 3.08
Parameters
General Parameters
Non composite Beam
Configuration :
Cutting :
Straight beam with constant height

Process ArcelorMittal Cellular Beam
End supports :
Simply supported beam
Horizontal span length :

Total number of openings :
Diameter of the openings :
Spacing between openings center :
Web post width :
Web post slenderness :
End web posts widths :
Height of the cellular beam :
L = 16.70 m
n = 19
a0 = 497.5 mm
e = 870.6 mm
w = e - a0 = 373.1 mm
= e / a0 = 1.750
wend,l = 265.6 mm wend,r = 265.6 mm
Ht = 788.0 mm
Mass :
Total paint surface :
Paint surface (without upper face) :
m = 3810 kg
S = 39.74 m2
S' = 34.54 m2
Massiveness :
Massiveness (without upper face) :
M = 81.87 m-1
M' = 71.16 m-1
Ratio of flanges area :

Ratio Ht / a0 :
Opening slenderness :
Web slenderness :
(bf tf)max / (bf tf )min = 1.00 < 4.50

Ht / a0 = 1.58
1.25 < Ht / a0 < 4.00
= a0 / tw = 27.04 < 90.00
hw / tw = 37.62 < 124.0 w = 88.63
Position of the beam

The studied beam is an intermediate beam.
Spacing of the beam
- to the adjacent left beam :

- to the adjacent rigth beam :
L1 = 7.600 m
L2 = 7.600 m
Width for the calculation of the surface loads supported by the beam :
on the left side :
d1 = 3.800 m
on the right side :
d2 = 3.800 m
Total width :
d1 + d2 = 7.600 m
Lateral restraint
Continuous lateral restraint of the flanges

WARNING!
This software facilitates the preliminary engineering studies with respect to steel constructions.
Based on calculation methods complying with the principles of the applied standards, this software
enables to make a certain number of verifications in view of evaluating a solution for a pre-design.
It does not enable to analyse all situations and to make in an exhaustive way all relevant
calculations needed for a study of execution which requires in every case the advice of an
external Engineering Office.
Given the complexity of the calculation methods, this software is only intended for professional
users active in the sector of steel constructions (who are fully aware of the possibilities, limits and
its adequacy thereof for specific practical cases). The users shall use the software under his own
responsibility and at his own risks.
This software may be used free of charge. No right is granted to the user of the software, the

inappropriate use or a use made for an inadequate or inappropriate purpose of the software.
All the preliminary design notes done by ARCELORMITTAL and/or by any other subsidiaries of the

Customer. ARCELORMITTAL and/or any other subsidiary of the ARCELORMITTAL group cannot be
held liable for any loss or damage, directly or indirectly sustained as a result of the use of the
