Structural Steel Design (BS 5950-1:2000) Universal Beam
Example (Design)
The figure shows a part of floor of a library with book storage. The floor is a reinforced concrete slab
supported on simply supported universal beams. Using grade steel, determine a suitable section for
beam (A) & (B) and design their end connections considering the following data:
Estimated dead loads on the floor area:
Slab + finishes + ceiling + partitions +
services + fire protection
Beam self-weight (Assumed)
Imposed load on the floor area
For end connections use:
- 20mm diameter Non-preloaded bolts grade 8.8.
- 6mm fillet weld (Electrode class 35).
- 215×150 plate with 8 mm thk, for secondary beam.
- And 150×75×10L bracket angle, for main beam.
Solution:
Design of Beam (A), it is secondary beam
