Westok Cellular Beam Design Summary

This output provides a listing of every Westok Cellular Beam design in the structure. For each beam, there are two sections of output: Design and Detailing.

The Design section lists the following information:

  • The beam ID number
  • The span length
  • The nominal yield strength py
  • The Westok Cellular Beam size
  • The beam depth
  • The required camber
  • The required number of studs

An asterisk "*" after the beam size indicates that the beam is over‑stressed. This can occur with user-selected sizes. A "#" after the beam size indicates that the beam is over‑deflected. A "u" after the size indicates that the user has assigned the size, hole configuration, and/or studs shown.

The Detailing section lists the following information:

  • The beam ID number
  • The Root Beam size from which the Westok Cellular Beam is to be manufactured. The root beam for the top half and the bottom half are both listed.
  • The Tee Depth for both the top and bottom tee.
  • The Westok Cellular Beam size
  • Cell Diameter.
  • Cell Pitch.
  • Location of first Cell (from left end).
  • Location of last Cell (from right end).
  • Infilled Cells, if any, listed by cell number.
