PRS

Welded built-up sections · length up to 15,000 mm

Web and flanges cut to exact dimensions then submerged-arc welded: the section is designed for the project's actual forces. Long spans over 30 m, heavy loads, crane runway beams: where rolled sections stop.

Built-up equivalent of a rolled section

Choose the section from your calculation note (from 300 upwards) and its use: the tool proposes the S355JR built-up section with the same moment and the same deflection, from the standard range when suitable, otherwise custom-made.

Equivalence by section, not by member. The class 3 built-up section is compared elastically (Wel,x × 355) with the resistance moment of the rolled section, plastic or elastic according to your note; same Ix for deflection; for a column, effective web area (EN 1993-1-5) and weak-axis inertia; for a crane runway, the top flange alone keeps half the weak-axis inertia of the rolled section. To be checked by the engineering office on the project: lateral-torsional buckling (Iy and torsional stiffness of the built-up section are lower; restraint of the compression flange by purlins or girts is decisive), web buckling under concentrated loads, flexural buckling, fatigue and connections, to be redesigned for the new depth.

Configure a built-up section

Atlas Steel standard range: 12 symmetrical sections and 4 asymmetrical sections for crane runways (designation web × thickness - top flange / bottom flange). Other sections are made to measure.
