Customer Service
Experience
From concept and design to manufacture and site installation,
Kingspan Structural Products has an unmatched degree of
experience with over four decades of experience and technical
expertise in all aspects of steel construction. With Multibeam now
in its fourth generation, Kingspan remain focused on servicing the
ever changing need of the construction industry.
Technical Excellence
At Kingspan Structural Products we are committed to advancing
technology within the construction industry. Working in conjunction
with the worlds leading experts, continually refining and testing
new and existing products, while enhancing our reputation for
technical excellence and the establishment of higher standards in
the industry.
Sustainability
The Multibeam system has been engineered to ensure maximum
performance whilst minimising the material content. Individual
sections are packed together using low carbon mild steel, blued
and waxed banding which is wholly recyclable. Identification of the
bundles is by paper labels which are biodegradable and can be
recycled. Softwood bearers, used to support the bundles in
transport are from managed woodland and are reusable.
Reuse
Steel does not lose its strength or stiffness over time so remains a
viable product for reuse. Assembly joints between components
can be easily dismantled at any time to facilitate reuse. Sections
can be recut to length and reholed to suit a revised use.
Recycling
Steel is one of the worlds most recycled materials
with over 40% of new steel made from recycled
steel. Kingspans suppliers encourage, promote
and assist in the return of steel for recycling.
Certification
Kingspan Structural Products has developed a fully integrated
management system which combines all the common elements of
ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment) and OHSAS
18001 (Occupational Health and Safety) into one system.
This simple coherent business management system enables the
organisation to successfully achieve its purpose and mission to
ensure that quality; safety and the environment are considered in
all aspects of the business process. Further information on these

Most double span bar lengths

can be provided, although bays
over 9m generally use single
span lengths and are sleeved at
every other joint to maintain
continuity. Multibeam can be
supplied in various lengths, please
check with our Sales Department for lengths over 18m.
Multibeam can be used in all the popular and economic purlin

spanning systems. The enhanced stiffness of the Multibeam shape
makes it ideal for all span dimensions from the very short to the
very long with purlin bar lengths of 18m or more, making it
practical for both handling and structural performance.
Sleeves
Sleeves are used to provide continuity at the joints between
members and are available in three gauges (see page 28).
When joining two sections of different gauges (as in a HEB
system) use the heaviest gauge purlin to select the sleeve
for that joint.
Continuous Span (HEB)

This system is often referred to as Heavy End Bay HEB because
a thicker gauge of section is required in the end bays of the
building, although all internal bays are a lighter gauge. With this
system all purlin joints are sleeved although double span bar
lengths may be used to reduce sleeve numbers. The continuous
system when used on larger buildings with bays larger than
6.5m may result in lower material cost, but more complex and
costly erection.
Double Span
Double span lengths of Multibeam section span across three
frame supports and provide design economy and speed of
erection. This spanning system always results in the lowest
component count. To ensure equal load distribution across the
supporting steel work the joints are staggered, typically requiring
only one sleeve per run of purlins.

Anti-Sag Requirements
Multibeam purlins on popular spans do not generally require anti-sag ties. In certain circumstances
such as wind reversal conditions, large bay sizes or cladding systems that do not provide lateral
restraint, then anti-sag ties may be required. Please refer to table 1:1 or the Kingspan Toolkit Software.

For roof slopes of 30 and over consider using stiffened purlin cleats.
General Notes
The information in the table above can be affected by the types of
roof cladding used. Please see page 12 for more info.
Roof Slopes Over 18
For roof slopes outside those shown above consult our Technical
Department. Stiffened purlin cleats should always be used for Roof
Slopes over 30.
Long Roof Slopes
For roof slopes exceeding 20m long, diagonal wires may be
required to support the downslope component of the load.
Multilok Ties
Multilok ties are generally used on purlin sections up to
205mm deep.
Temporary Propping
When no anti-sag ties are used temporary spacers and propping
may be required during sheeting of the roof.
Mono Pitch
Diagonal wires generally required to support downslope load.
Contact Kingspan technical for further information.
10
Apex Ties
Apex Ties must be used in all cases where anti-sag ties are
required. On bays >6.1m when no anti-sag ties are used we
recommend that apex ties are used, to provide stability during
sheeting of the roof.
Anti-sag
Anti-sag requirements assume that there are two slopes with a
central ridge. On roof slopes of 6O or more, over 20m in length,
we recommend that wire ropes are considered within the slope
length to limit the load applied to the apex tie. See page 23 for
construction details.

Purlin Restraint
Multibeam purlins can be used with all types of modern roof cladding systems including metal composite panels, standing seam, insulated
membrane panels, and traditional tiles. However, it should be noted that certain types of roof cladding do not give the necessary lateral
restraint to purlins and additional restraints may be required. Please consult Table 1:2 for guidance.

Roofing systems - Through fix

Built-up Roofing
Generally comprises of a trapezoidal outer weather sheet,
insulation, spacers and an inner liner sheet all assembled on site.
Where the profiled liner sheet is steel with a minimum gauge of
0.4mm using self tapping screws at maximum cross centres of
350mm, then adequate restraint is provided to the Multibeam
purlins to enable the published load tables to be supported.
Restraints as table 1.1, page 10.
Where there is no steel liner sheet through fixed to the purlin,
additional restraints must be provided as shown in table 1.3 to
enable the published load tables to be supported.
Where a liner sheet is provided but it is not of steel construction
then please consult our Technical Department, or provide the
restraints as shown in table 1.3 to enable the published load
tables to be supported.
Insulated panels
A factory manufactured composite panel, comprising of steel
and insulation eg. Kingspan KS1000RW/Ward IP1000.
When these panels are fixed to the purlin top flange using
through fix self tap, self drilling screws, three number per panel,
then adequate restraint is provided to the Multibeam purlins to
enable the published load tables to be supported. Restraints as
table 1.1, page 10.
Down slope ties

Where the outer weather sheet is free to move and there is no liner
sheet or the liner sheet is not adequate to support the down slope
load, then the tie arrangement shown to the right must be
adopted.

Roof Purlins
Restraint Information
Purlin Restraint (Continued)

Tiled Roofs
The shape and strength of the Multibeam section is eminently
suitable to sustain the greater loadings imposed by a tiled roof.
However, due to the nature of the forces imposed upon the purlin
sections by this form of roof construction, additional
considerations are required in the design of the purlin.
Angle Strut Anti-Sag System
The angle strut brace system caters for the downslope force
produced in the roof from dead and superimposed loads.
The section capacities are based on using an anti-sag system with
restraints at a minimum of 1/3 points and a minimum angle of 30
on the screwed rods. Table 1.4 shows the max spans achievable
for this combination with the cross centres of purlins shown.
Where the span is curtailed by the minimum 30 angle of the
diagonal rods, place the restraints at 1/4 points as shown
in table 1.4.
One set of diagonals are required for every 6.0m length of roof
slope. As long as this is complied with the roof slope can be any
length. Stiffened cleats should also be used with tiled roof
construction.
Anti-Sag requirements with metal liner
When certain cassette metal liner profiles are fixed to the purlin top
flange, enough restraint may be provided in order to use the
standard load tables in conjunction with the anti-sag system.
For further advice please contact our Technical Department.

for the roofing system.
Where domed roof lights are used in strips across the purlins,
down slope framed on either side with full roof sheeting the
restraints are classified as for the roof system.
Laying roof lights in continuing strips along the purlins should be
avoided as this construction may not provide the required level
of restraint to the purlin. Please contact our Technical Department
for guidance.

Built up Standing Seam roofing systems
A specialised form of built up roofing system where the outer
weather sheet has a side seam that stands above the water
trough. These systems will have a weather sheet, halters, spacers,
insulation and a liner sheet. Typically this system can be classed
as clip fixed where the outer sheet is free to move or is fixed.
Where the outer sheet is free to move and through fixed profiled
steel liner minimum gauge 0.4mm using self drill, self tapping
screws at a maximum cross centres of 350mm, then adequate
restraint is provided to the Multibeam purlins to enable the
published load tables to be supported. Restraints as table 1.5.
Clip fixed, where the outer sheet is free to move and no steel liner
then restraints must be provided as shown in table 1.3 on page 13
to enable the published load tables to be supported.
Down slope ties
Where the outer weather sheet is free to move and there is no liner
sheet or the liner sheet is not adequate to support the down slope
load, then the tie arrangement shown below must be adopted.
Secret fix insulated panels
(eg Kingspan KS1000LP/Ward DR1000).
Through fixed self drill, self tapping screws are placed on the

Built up membrane flat roof system

deck based
A trapezoidal steel deck is fixed directly to the Multibeam purlins
using self drill, self tapping screws. A layer of board insulation is
placed on top of the deck and attached, plus an impermeable
membrane is laid over the insulation and bonded or held in place
by ballast. The deck is generally fixed at every trough to the purlin
and will then provide sufficient restraint to support the published
load tables if the secondary restraints are as shown in table 1:5.
Insulated panel Membrane insulated roof system
(eg Ward Topdeck).
A special fixing technique allows the attachment screws to fix the
inner steel deck profile directly to the purlin, providing adequate
restraint to support the published load tables when the restraints
as shown in table 1:5 are used.

Multibeam Purlins - Load Tables

Purlin Ultimate Loads
The load tables show the ultimate load for double span sections
in terms of a UDL per span.
Section self weight has not been subtracted in the loads shown.
Loadings have also been tabulated that will produce the noted
deflection ratio. Loads shown assume lateral restraint to the top
flange of the section and that the beams are fixed exactly as
indicated in the Multibeam Handbook.

Multibeam Purlins Tiled Roofs
Span
(m)
Section
The designer should not resolve the loadings into normal and
downslope components as they have been taken into account
when compiling this table. Loads are based on the utilisation of
an anti-sag system comprising angle struts at 1/3 span with
diagonal rod ties at a minimum slope to the purlins of 30 and
stiffened cleats. In order to maintain 30 on larger bays, struts
should be positioned at 1/4 intervals as shown on page 14 in the
Multibeam Handbook.
5.0
One set of diagonal rods are required per 6m length of roof slope.
6.5
The loads are applicable to roof slopes not exceeding 30 and

purlin spacings not exceeding 1.8m.

Timber rafters must be securely fixed to the purlins at centres not

exceeding 600mm. Where metal decking is used with tiles consult

Eaves Beam - Section Properties

Load tables and charts - The interaction between vertical and horizontal loading is shown to allow the most efficient selection when using
wind loading to BS6399 part 2. The values shown are ultimate values in kN and are based on the Eaves Beam being connected to the first
purlin by the eaves strut(s) which restrains the eaves beam and transmits part of the horizontal wind loads through the diaphragm action of
the roof.
Restraint struts are required on all spans see page 51
Design criteria are valid when the eaves beams are fitted exactly as shown in the Multibeam literature.
Eaves Beams
Spans up to 12m are possible, subject to minimum volumes - for further details contact our Technical Department.

Deflection values Vertical deflection capacities are shown for a

deflection limit of L/180. Where the deflection
capacity shown exceeds the Ultimate (and
SLS) it is only shown to allow the deflection
at a lower load to be prorated. Where the
dead load is a higher proportion of the total
load than for normal roofing (tiled roof etc)
then the allowable deflection limit should be
reviewed.
Example
Span 6.0m, distance to first purlin 1.8m, distance to top side rail 1.8m,
Ultimate down (((dead+services) x 1.4) + (super x 1.6)) x 6.0 x 1.8/2 = +6.847 kN
Ultimate uplift ((dead x 1.0) - (wind uplift x 1.4)) x 6.0 x 1.8/2 = -6.156 kN
Ultimate uplift (((dead + super) x 1.2) - (wind uplift x 1.2)) x 6.0 x 1.8/2= -1.166 kN
Pressure on side = wind pressure x 1.4 x 6.0 x 1.8/2 = +6.048 kN
Suction on side = wind suction x 1.4 x 6.0 x 1.8/2 = -9.072 kN

Consider if side load pressure or suction is critical.

Suction value is 9.072 x 0.67% = 6.078 this value is just critical use this value.
The dead + services + super is not critical as it does not act in combination with any of the
other loads. In this case the critical case is Ultimate uplift 6.156kN in combination with 9.072
x 0.67 suction (see use of chart above).
E185140 provides a horizontal pressure capacity of 5.6kN with a vertical uplift of 6.156
E215170 provides a horizontal pressure capacity of 7.2kN with a vertical uplift of 6.156
Thus the section that should be adopted is the E215170 with struts at mid span.

Spanning Systems
Double Span
Double span lengths of
Multibeam section span across three frame
supports and provide design economy and speed of erection.
This spanning system always results in the lowest component
count. To ensure equal load distribution across the supporting
steel work the joints are staggered, typically requiring only one
sleeve per run of rails.
Multibeam can be used in all the popular and economic rail

cladding systems.
The enhanced stiffness of the Multibeam shape makes it ideal for
all span dimensions from the very short to the very long with rail
bar lengths of 18m or more, making it practical for both handling
and structural performance.
Sleeves
Sleeves are used to provide continuity at the joints between
members and are available in three gauges (see page 82). When
joining two sections of different gauges use the heaviest gauge rail
to select the sleeve for that joint.
Most double span bar lengths can be provided, although bays

over 9m generally use single span lengths and are sleeved at
every other joint to maintain continuity. Multibeam can be supplied
in various lengths, however, please check with our Sales
department for lengths over 18m.
System Types
Single Span Sleeved Joints

Option for all bay sizes particularly those with
bay centres greater than 8.25m
Where site restrictions
(access, weight, cranage etc.)
dictates use of single span length
High component count
Normal double span load tables can be used
Single Span (between columns)

Suitable for spanning between columns
Reduces internal volume of building
Useful for all applications where the front
face of the rail must be flush with outer
column flange
Use design software for capacities
(span is between outer connection bolts)

Cladding Rail Restraints

Multibeam Side rails can be used with all types of modern steel
based side wall cladding whether laid vertically or horizontally.
- Insulated panels
- Twin skin
- Firewalls
- Rain screens
Insulated Panels
Two layers of steel bonded to an insulation core, laid vertically
when through fixed directly to the side rails, will provide full
restraint. The vertical restraint systems shown on page 67 can
be used.
Where the insulated panel is only through fixed on one edge,
trapping an under tongue on the adjacent panel the restraint
shown on page 67 should be adopt but modified as follows;
These systems have the bottom tube strut replaced with an angle
strut and the diagonal wire replaced with a diagonal screwed rod.
Horizontally laid insulated panels should use the restraint systems
shown on pages 68 and 69 and the rail capacities can be
obtained from the Toolkit design software or from page 91 - 93.
Generally the Insulated panels when laid horizontally should be
fixed to the verticals between the rails and not by reducing the
horizontal rail cross centres to match the panel cover width.
66
Twin Skin
Is made up of a inner liner profile and outer weather skin with an
internal steel spacer system and thermal insulation. The liner tray is
attached directly to the Multibeam side rail using self drill self
tapping screws and this in connection with the restraint systems
shown on page 67 will provide sufficient restraint to support the
values shown in the load tables or design software.
Horizontally laid twin skin usually comprises of a vertically
spanning liner tray and internal spacer system with the outer sheet
laid horizontally and fixed back to the vertical internal spacer.
With this arrangement the inner liner is through fixed to the
Multibeam rail. When used with the restraint systems shown on
pages 68 and 69, provides the necessary restraint to support the
values shown in the load tables or Toolkit design software.
Firewall
Multibeam side rails can be used to support steel cladding based
firewalls using either Insulated panels or twin skin cladding.
As long as the Multibeam side wall system is sufficiently designed
to support the normal applied loads (dead weights and wind
loadings) it will also support the requirements when the same
cladded wall operates as a firewall see page 70.
Restraints - Vertically Laid Cladding

Bays up to 3.0m generally do not require vertical support struts.

This system is for use with cladding which, when fixed restrains
the Multibeam siderail outer flange.
* When wall exceeds 10m in height allow one set of diagonal ties
for every 9.0m of height.
Maximum rail cross centres are 2m (for larger cross centres,

Restraints - Horizontally Laid Cladding

Cladding Joints at Stanchions
Horizontally laid panels require a structure to provide support
for the panel self weight and also resist wind pressure and
suction loads.
The efficient steelwork arrangement shown utilises Multibeam
siderails with G140/150 vertical members at intermediate
support locations.
This typical example also shows vertical restraint provided by
standard diagonal tie wires and the connection to the Eaves
Beam system.

Horizontally laid cladding - Top Hat supports

Vertical top hat cladding supports provided by the sheeting
contractor to support horizontally laid insulated panels - The
restraints can be as shown on page 67 but the tube strut between
the bottom pair of rails supporting the top hats must be replaced
with a vertical Multichannel of the same depth of the rail and
attached as shown on page 67. The standard tie wire must be
replaced with a rod diagonal.
The top hats must be positioned at or very close to the rail
restraint positions to avoid twisting of the horizontal member.
The top hat section must be attached to all rails that it passes
over using suitable fixings that can support the vertical dead loads
and the wind pressure and suction loads.

Cladding Rails
G140/150
(Panel Joint Rail)
Restraints - Firewall
Sheeting rails with a minimum thickness of 1.2mm and above may
be used for both twin skin cladding and composite panels, providing
they are structurally capable of supporting the wall between the
column spacings for the normal load case.
This assembly of Multibeam side rails is designed to offer lateral

support to the cladding assembly which provides the firewall
performance of insulation integrity and stability for the periods
derived from test or assessment. Periods up to 240mins are
possible.
To reduce thermally induced stresses caused by expansion of the

sheeting rails during the early stages of a fire, slotted holes are
provided in the ends of the horizontal sheeting rails. The rails are
shortened in length and low temperature fusible washers are used
so that thermally induced movement can occur unrestricted.
Firewall systems rely on the performance of the cladding. As the

sheeting rails are relatively thin components they have very little
heat sink capacity owing to their low mass. When subjected to a
fire resistance test, the sheeting rails are heated very quickly and
consequently lose their structural strength.
The cladding suppliers requirements should always be checked

especially where special or unusual details are required.
Sheeting rails whether exposed or concealed do retain sufficient

strength to prevent the wall from significant lateral movement even
after 240 minutes of exposure to a standard fire resistance test.

General Notes
1. Firewall rails should be 30mm shorter in length and should have
54mm x 14mm slotted holes to cater for expansion.
2. Although bottom rails must be single spanning to suit fire
conditions, standard sleeves may be introduced to provide
continuity for structural considerations.
3. At the discretion of the engineer, joints on rails may be

staggered to provide uniform distribution of wind loadings to
support structures.
4. Eaves Beam E265/200 is the only available section if supporting
the weight of the wall and must be fire protected.

Multichannel is now greener due

to overall reduced steel content
Why Multichannel?
Multichannel sections offer lightweight robust construction and
may be used in lieu of some hot rolled sections, offering easier site
handling. Multichannel is suitable for a wide range of structural
applications including horizontal cladding support, door and
window trimmers, wind bracing, mezzanine floor beams, brickwork
restraints, gable rafters and columns.
Autoform In
Autoform Ends
The unique feature of the Multichannel system is the Autoform
End. Autoform eliminates the need for fixing cleats and brackets
which simplifies the construction process by providing numerous
connection solutions to speed fabrication and on-site construction.
Autoforms are available with the returns turned inward or
outward and can be punched or counterformed with standard
hole options as required.
Autoform Out
Using this system, connections are primarily made using two bolts
which halves the connection time in fabrication and also reduces
fixing material costs.
Notches
Multichannel can be supplied with plain ends, notched ends
(top, bottom or both) and/or with Autoform Ends offering
installation flexibility.
Counterform Holes
In order to provide a flush connection for door and window
applications an off-line process of counterforming is used.
This enables countersunk bolts to be used without compromising
the finish of the Multichannel Rail.

This assembly of Multichannel side rails is designed to offer lateral
support to the cladding assembly, which provides the firewall
performance of insulation integrity and stability for the periods
derived from test or assessment. Periods up to 240 minutes are
possible.
Firewall systems rely on the performance of the cladding. As the
sheeting rails are relatively thin components they have very little
heat sink capacity owing to their low mass. When subjected to a
fire resistance test, the sheeting rails are heated very quickly and
consequently lose their structural strength.
Sheeting rails whether exposed or concealed do retain sufficient
strength to prevent the wall from significant lateral movement even
after 240 minutes of exposure to a standard fire resistance test.
Sheeting rails with a minimum thickness of 1.2mm and above may

be used for both twin skin cladding and composite panels,
providing they are structurally capable of supporting the wall
between the column spacings for the normal load case.
To reduce thermally induced stresses caused by expansion of the
sheeting rails during the early stages of a fire, slotted holes are
provided, in the ends of the horizontal sheeting rails. The rails are
shortened in length and low temperature fusible washers are used
so that thermally induced movement can occur unrestricted.
The cladding suppliers requirements should always be checked
especially where special or unusual details are required.

General Notes
1. Firewall rails should be 30mm shorter in length and should
have 54mm x 14mm slotted holes to cater for expansion.
2. Although bottom rails must be single spanning to suit fire
conditions, standard sleeves may be introduced to provide
continuity for structural considerations.
3. At the discretion of the engineer, joints on rails may be

staggered to provide uniform distribution of wind loadings to
support structures.

Horizontally laid cladding - Top Hat supports

Vertical top hat cladding supports provided by the sheeting
contractor to support horizontally laid insulated panels The restraints can be as shown on page 98 but the tube strut
between the bottom pair of rails supporting the top hats must be
replaced with a vertical Multichannel of the same depth of the rail
and attached as shown on page 98. The standard tie wire must
be replaced with a rod diagonal.
The top hats must be positioned at or very close to the rail
restraint positions to avoid twisting of the horizontal member.
The top hat section must be attached to all rails that it passes
over using suitable fixings that can support the vertical dead loads
and the wind pressure and suction loads.

Multichannel - Applications
Parapet Posts
Multichannel can be used as an efficient and economical parapet
post section to support vertical or horizontally laid cladding on
industrial and commercial buildings.
The Multichannel parapet post can be supplied as a kit for
assembly on site or as a fully assembled component ready to
attach to the main steelwork and complete with attachment cleats
to suit Multichannel or Multibeam horizontal cladding rails.
Use the Toolkit design software to select sections against the
applied wind loads and dead weights of the supported cladding.

Door and Window Openings
In sidewall situations where openings are required, we recommend

the use of Multichannel sections. These versatile sections provide
an easy solution for door and window openings, trimmers etc.
and section sizes are compatible with Multichannel cladding rail
section sizes.
Where required Multichannels can be used as a substitute for
Multibeam cladding rails as all components (eg. Cleats etc.) are
fully compatible.
It must be noted however, that equivalent section sizes may not

provide an identical performance and heavier gauges may be
required. (see section properties on page 122).

Mezzanine Floors
Multichannels can be used for primary or secondary floor
beams in mezzanine floor applications. They can also be used
singly or compounded to form columns, and can be used as
stair rails and treads providing a completely pre-engineered
mezzanine floor package.
Multichannel Mezzanine floor beams can be utilised with all
popular types of flooring including checkerplate, timber etc.
They can be fitted between steel or over steel supports either
with or without cleats. Fitting over steelwork gives the
economy of double span members but increases the depth of
the floor structure.
Construction details are provided for all three systems,
please see pages 111 and 112 for further information.
Brickwork Restraints
The Multichannel brickwork
restraint has been developed to
accommodate standard brick
and block sizes used in
construction today. The restraint
provides an efficient method of
restraining brickwork panels in
steel framed buildings.
Compared with hotrolled
alternatives it is easier to handle on site due to its light weight and
no additional finishing is required.
General Engineering Applications
Gable Posts
Multichannel is suitable for a wide variety of engineering

applications.
Compound Multichannel members can be used as an infill gable

post (to facilitate a future gable extension) where a full portal frame
is provided at the gable.
These can include:

Roof trusses
Stairs
Bracing
Conveyors
And many more
For more information call our Technical Department
on 01944 712000.
Compound Multichannel posts can be supplied with side rail

cleats, restraint brackets and base cleats pre-assembled in the
factory to minimise site work and promote rapid erection.
Alternatively a kit of parts is available for full assembly on site.
Multichannel infill posts are not suitable for free standing
applications (including during erection) and must be placed
between self supporting main beams and the foundations
for stability.
103
Multichannel
Multichannel brickwork restraints suit 100mm and 140mm

block/brickwork walls and are available in lengths up to 9m either
as a single or compound section. Attachment to the brickwork
can be Rawlbolts (or similar), threaded rods built into the wall or
flat strapped brick restraints built into the brickwork.

Multichannel - Load Tables

Multichannel Brickwork Restraint
Working Loads
Loads shown are working loads limited to a deflection of span/360
or span/500. Sections can be used as combined sheeting
rail/brick restraint, or as a brick restraint built into the brickwork
either as a single or compound section. Attachment to the
brickwork can be: Rawlbolts, or other similar.
Threaded rods built into the wall.
Shop-fired fixings.
Flat strapped brick restraints.
Compound Multichannels will support twice the capacity of the

single section shown. Sections shown do not preclude the use of
thinner gauge if the capacity is adequate. Use of the AUTOFORM
connection can provide an efficient solution for the attachment of
brick restraints to the steelwork.
Please contact our Technical Department for further details.

Multichannel Cladding Rails

Ultimate Loads
Multichannel used as cladding rail supports, sections supported
on Multichannel cleats as shown in the Multibeam Handbook
LOADS SHOWN ARE UDLS IN kN AND ARE ULTIMATE VALUES.
Values against deflection should be compared against values at

working load. Loading assumes cladding provides restraint to the
Multichannel, and that the Multichannel restraint system as
detailed in the Multibeam Handbook is used. Lining and levelling of
the bottom base rails should be completed before fitting further
rails or tube struts. Maximum height limit 10m.

Single Span Load Tables for Multichannel Floor Beams
Ultimate Loads
Load tables are for Multichannels used as secondary floor beams.
These can be fixed in one of three ways:
Between support steelwork. Over support steelwork fixed with or
without Multibeam cleats (single or double span).
ALL LOADS SHOWN ARE ULTIMATE. VALUES SHOWN FOR
DEFLECTION SHOULD BE COMPARED AGAINST APPLIED
VALUES AT WORKING LOAD.
Loading assumes deck provides restraint to Multichannels and

Multichannel restraints are provided at mid-span before placement
of the deck. The deck should be suitably attached at the edge to
restrain the floor (not applicable to Multichannel fixed over steel
with cleats).
Multichannels must be fixed heel to heel and toe to toe.
See construction details in the Multibeam Handbook.

Case Studies
Colburn Business Park, Catterick
Utilising over 3,000 sq m in total, the 6.7 hectare Colburn Business Park near Catterick in
North Yorkshire will provide high quality accommodation. The speed and efficiency that the
Multibeam provides makes it ideal for a project that requires a right first time approach.
136
Debenhams Peterborough
Over 67,000 sq m in total, the site includes a vast warehouse featuring Multibeam purlins
and rails integral to its roof, an impressive four spans wide. Timing of production and
delivery is crucial in order to coincide with the construction of the primary steelwork for
the walls and roof structure.

Toolkit Design Software

To satisfy the growing demand for accurate and comprehensive information and simplify the detailing
and ordering of components, Kingspan Structural Products have produced the Toolkit CD.
The CD contains information in an easily accessible format. Contents include:
Multibeam Design Software for Purlin and Rail Systems

A comprehensive software program for the design engineer and
specifier, featuring Multibeam Purlins and Cladding Rails.
The design software has been extended to include support
systems for Horizontal cladding (both horizontal Multibeam and
Multichannel). Cantilever sections, Eaves Beams, Parapet posts
and stepped wind loading for continuous design as well as the
previous design options, single span and double span design for
both conventional and continuous systems, plus automatic Purlin
spacing in snow load applications.
The Toolkit program also assists users in meeting the requirements
of the latest Wind Code, BS 6399-2 1997 part 2. Toolkit features
integrated information derived from Ordnance Survey with the
latest BREVe topographical information and BRECp external
coefficients. These features enable users to take full account of the
minimum distances to sea and the lay of the land surrounding the
proposed construction site. It then provides fully calculated wind
pressure data for the building from each of twelve wind directions,
and applies it to sides, corners and roof of the structure.
Multichannel Design Software for Structural Solutions
A useful design software program for the specification and use of
the Multichannel range of galvanised pre-engineered cold formed
channel sections.
The construction applications featured within the program
include cladding rail design, mezzanine floor beam design and
column design.
For copies of the Toolkit CD please contact our Customer Services
on: 01944 712000 or visit www.kingspanstructural.com to
download from the website.
Toolkit now offers the opportunity to design a full roof solution due
to it's interactive link with CSC Fastrak, providing a quicker and
more efficient design.
