Detailed C-Beam Design
This output contains a complete description of individual Castellated C-Beam™ designs; the information for Cellular C-Beam is similar. Design checks on posts and openings are reported for beam configurations matching the minimum and maximum cases of e. Output for a controlling cases of e is reported when it differs from the either the minimum or maximum.
Most of the output for the Detailed C-Beam Design is the same as for C-Beam Design. Only the items that are different are listed below. Tee section properties, loads, opening configurations, and design checks are also included.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Dt | This represents the distance from top of flange to top of opening |
| Emin, Emax | This represents the range of acceptable e values. |
| Econtrolling | This represents the e value in the range of e that resulted in the controlling interaction. |
| Tee Properties at Center of Opening | This represents the section properties of the top and bottom tees at the center of an opening. |
| Tee Properties at Critical Section | This represents the section properties of the top and bottom tees at the critical section of 0.45R from center line of opening (Cellular Beams Only). |
| Precomposite Shears and Moments | This represents the precomposite shears and moments at each opening in the member. |
| Composite Shears and Moments | This represents the precomposite shears and moments at each opening in the member. |
| Shear at Net Section | This represents the net shear checks at each opening in the member. |
| Horizontal Shear | This represents the horizontal shear checks at each post in the member. |
| Web Post Buckling | This represents the web post buckling checks at each post in the member. |
| Precomposite Vierendeel | This represents the precomposite Vierendeel checks at each opening in the member. |
| Composite Vierendeel | This represents the composite Vierendeel checks at each opening in the member. |
