British Universal

For the input of database cross sections are used parameters measured in meters [m]. For the designation of database cross sections are used values in millimeters [mm].

Dimensions [m]

Designation [mm]

British universal beams (UB):

UB h_nom x b_nom xx G

for tapered section: UB h_nom x b_nom xx G (h_B - h_E)

for castellated section: UB h_nom x b_nom xx G / h_t

where:

UB - symbol of database British universal beams sections

h_nom - nominal height [mm]

b_nom - nominal width [mm]

G - weight per meter [kg/m]

h_B - begin height of tapered section [mm]

h_E - end height of tapered section [mm]

h_t - height of castellated section [mm]

British universal bearing piles with wide flanges (UBP):

UBP h_nom x b_nom x G

for tapered section: UBP h_nom x b_nom x G (h_B - h_E)

for castellated section: UBP h_nom x b_nom x G / h_t

where:

UBP - symbol of database British universal bearing piles with wide flanges sections

h_nom - nominal height [mm]

b_nom - nominal width [mm]

G - weight per meter [kg/m]

h_B - begin height of tapered section [mm]

where:

UC - symbol of database British universal columns sections

h_nom - nominal height [mm]

b_nom - nominal width [mm]

G - weight per meter [kg/m]

h_B - begin height of tapered section [mm]

h_E - end height of tapered section [mm]

h_t - height of castellated section [mm]
