The current section of the 4F_04 beam is a symmetrical I-section with a height of 2520 mm, a bottom and top flange of 400×45 and a web thickness of 20 mm, in S235 steel.
This section is enhanced by:
– a T welded to the lower flange of dimensions: h = 500mm, flange 400×50, web 20mm
– longitudinal rectangular-shaped stiffeners 250×20 at a distance of 700mm and 1400mm from the upper face of the beam.
