Design Procedure of the Built-up Beams design
In my earlier articles, we discussed in detail about the “Theory of Built-up Beams“. In this article, we will move a step ahead and understand the concept of the design of Built-up beams.
Here are the simple steps that are to be followed for the design of Built-up Beams.
Step one
The effective span and load required to be carried by the built-up beam are known.
Maximum bending moment and shear force in built-up beams are calculated.
Step two
Value of yield stress (fy) for structural steel is to be assumed.
The permissible bending stress (sigma bc) is calculated.
Step three
The required section modulus (Z) for the given beam section is calculated.
