Built Up Steel Beams

This document provides guidelines for designing built up steel beam sections. It discusses determining the minimum required section properties including web thickness, beam depth, and flange area. An example problem is included showing the design of a built up beam section for a given span and load. Key checks are performed to ensure the design meets requirements for strength and deflection. Stiffener design is also briefly addressed.

BUILT UP STEEL BEAMS Prepared by Ismail Ali

In designing built up sections , the minimum area of the section must be determined in order to be adequate to the required section modulus (Zreq = M/0.6fy

Thickness of the web (t): !he thic"ness of the #eb can be determined empirically from the follo#ing equation $ t = % & 'h must be ( ')/*h+, #here t is the #eb thic"ness in mm h is section depth in meter ) is the ma- shear force +, design shear strength of steel
