NOMENCLATURE
INTRODUCTION:
This program will assist in sizing simply supported, castellated beams with point and uniformly distributed loads.
All a reas in sh ade d yell ow req uire i nforma ti on to be in pu t. C ontac t C MC Steel Products toll fre e at (877 ) 7 64 -232 6
for fur the r inform ation or a ssista nc e.
STEPS:
OPTIMIZATION:
Three modes of failure and their corresponding interaction values are shown in the results section. All values must
be less than or equal to 1.0 for the beam to be ok. Press the "Find lightest shape" button to have the program select
the lightest shape with standard castellation geometry. Significant strength changes can be achieved by modifying
the castellation pattern. The following guidelines will help the optimization process.
1. To increase shear or web post strength, increase "e".
2. To increase bending strength, decrease "e".
3. If point loads are a significant portion of the load, increase "dt".
CONSTRUCTION BRIDGING:
VARIABLES
Construction bridging is required for castellated beams that spans longer than the maximum bridging spacing.
Maximum bridging spacing is controlled by connection type at end of beam.
OSHA requires construction bridging to be installed to meet the following loading conditions:
1. A 300 lb. Man @ midspan - requires bolted X-bridging to be installed before hoisting cables are removed.
2. One 4000 lb. Bundle of deck to be placed over three beams no further than 1 ft from the end of the beam requires horizontal bridging to be in place before deck bundles are placed.
