DYNAMIC SENSITIVITY :

NOTE 1: Loads are construction stage permanent and variable (wet concrete only) loads, normal stage superimposed permanent
loads and 10% normal stage imposed loads.
NOTE 2: Controlling accelerations via the response factor 'R', can allow the use of a lower beam frequency for longer spans,
providing the system frequency does not go below 3Hz. Refer to relevant SCI Publication for further guidance
Dynamic inertia (uncracked section) = 728397 cm4 (composite section)

FIRE DESIGN SUMMARY DATA:

Methodology based on prEN13381-9. Temperature distribution based on BS EN 1994-1-2
Critical web post temperature 714 ºC Critical btm flange temperature 615 ºC
Btm. section Factor 52 m-1 Web section Factor 89 m-1
Critical failure mode Horizontal Shear Deck voids Unfilled
Critical failure location: Web post 23/24 (14 m from left hand support)

Guidance on Application:

The data above should be supplied to the intumescent paint manufacturer. The manufacturer will determine the required thickness of
protection material, based on product-specific testing on Cellular beams. Please see the help file for further details.

Deck voids:
Following the guidance published for composite beams by ASFP in 'Fire Protection for Structural Steelwork in Buildings', for periods of
fire resistance in excess of 90 minutes, the voids between trapezoidal steel decks and the top flange of the beam must be filled.

The voids between re-entrant decks and the top flange of the beam do not need to be filled regardless of the period of fire resistance
being considered.

Additional guidance is given in the Help File.

Web thickness (mm): 18.4 Web thickness (mm): 26.6
Cell Data:

Cell spacing (mm): 615.0 Dist. to centre of last cell (mm): 602.5 Precamber (mm): 0

Min & Max ULS Moment and Shear:

Max Mom. = 1364.50 kNm @ 7.68m (LC:2) Min Mom. = 0.00 kNm @ 0m (LC:2) Max LHS Shear = 355.57 kN (LC:2) Max RHS Shear = 355.57 kN (LC:2)

NOTE: Partial or full infills at the beam ends may be required. For example:
- Partial cells are generated when the distance to the centre of the first / last cell > [web-post width + diameter/2]. These infills are indicated above with hatched shading and may be eliminated when the
actual beam length is detailed;
- When the first/last web-post width is less than half of a standard web-post width;
- When the beam ends are detailed with large notches;

Talk to Kloeckner Westok for guidance on connection design and minimising infills. Minor adjustment of the cell diameter and spacing data will assist to reduce or eliminate infills entirely.

Cellbeam® must be manufactured by Kloeckner Metals UK Westok, or one of its licenced manufacturers.
