Product catalog summary
Introduction
UltraBEAM cold roll-formed sections are manufactured by Structural Sections Limited in Great Britain for structural engineering applications. These sections optimize building construction using lightweight pre-galvanized steel, with technical support available from the company's Technical Department and UltraPRO Design Software.
Quality Assurance
The products comply with BS EN ISO 9000: 2000 standards, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness, supported by test programs under the SCI Light Gauge Accreditation scheme.
Design Software
UltraPRO Design Software aids in product selection and is regularly updated to remain technologically advanced.
Section Properties and Dimensions
Specifications include section depth, flange width, and thickness, with tables detailing section properties such as mass, area, and moments of inertia.
Floor Systems
UltraBEAM sections are suitable for mezzanine platforms, modular buildings, and domestic floors, offering a reliable alternative to traditional materials with simple end connection details.
Cleats and Fixing Systems
Details on inset and top cleats for primary beams are provided, including permissible combinations and dimensions. The flange fix system allows direct fixing to support structures, with reduced carrying capacity due to web crushing limitations.
Hole Configurations
Standard hole details for M12 bolts are provided, with recommendations for corrosion protection.
Masonry Connections
Guidelines for load-bearing padstone connections and flange fixing emphasize securely fixing floor decking to provide lateral restraint.
Specifications
UltraBEAM sections can be fixed through web connections or flange fixed, with design capacities derived from load tables. Primary structure stays are made from pre-galvanized steel angles, designed to accept M12 bolts.
Procedures
Methods for connecting UltraBEAM sections to existing walls include face-fixed angle ties and padstones for chemical protection. Beams should be level, with necessary adjustments.
Connection Details
Illustrations for masonry connections and traditional methods using angle ties for walls under construction are provided. Oversailing walls require protective barriers against corrosive attacks.
Floor Systems
UltraBEAM sections offer lightweight and cost-effective solutions for suspended ceilings, supplied pre-engineered or in plain lengths for on-site work. Lateral restraints are necessary, with specified maximum unrestrained lengths.
Load Tables
Extensive load tables for single and double span configurations detail safe working loads, ultimate capacities, and deflection limits for various beam sections and spans.
Recommendations
Deflection consideration is crucial, especially for large spans. Lateral supports must be secured to structural members to prevent movement. The technical department is available for further assistance.
Overview
The document provides technical specifications and guidelines for structural sections framing, focusing on lateral bracing, floor joists, and wall stud capacities, including span tables and deflection limits.
Specifications
Maximum lateral wind load for studs at 600mm spacing with full lateral bracing at mid-height is outlined, with tables showing deflection limits for different wall heights and stud spans.
Procedures
Instructions for pan connection, continuous mid-span or end connection, block work connection, and lateral bracing emphasize proper installation and alignment for structural integrity.
Standards and Norms
The document adheres to specific deflection limits (Height/240, Height/360, Height/600) for various structural sections, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards.
Recommendations
Recommendations include using full lateral bracing at maximum 3-meter centers for industrial partition walls and ensuring studs are boarded on both sides. Consultation with the technical department is advised for deflection criteria beyond specified limits.
Key Data from Tables
Span tables provide allowable spans for floor joists under different loading conditions, with safety factors and deflection limits clearly indicated. Allowable safe axial loads for studs with full lateral bracing at mid-height or 1/3 height are detailed.
Critical Information
The importance of blocking and lateral restraint according to structural calculations is highlighted. The structural sections framing is designed for lightweight solutions, minimizing the need for foundation or floor strengthening work.

Structural Sections Framing Non-Continuous Infill System creates a steel framed stud and track system suitable for use in construction projects where conventional blockwork might be considered. The lightweight ‘dry’ system offers savings in material weight, construction time and labour requirements. The system is fixed between primary structure members and is generally located at the ‘slab edge’ to facilitate the fixing of insulation and external cladding materials which can run continuously outside the main structure if desired. Services slots (100mm x 40mm) located 600mm from the ends of stud...

STRUCTURAL SECTIONS FRAMING EXTERNAL WALLING SYSTEMS. Structural Sections Framing-Continuous System is eminently suitable for buildings where the floor area needs to be maximised. Cleats are attached to the outer faces of the floor slabs using fixings determined by structural calculations. The continuous vertical sections are in turn attached to the cleats using appropriate screw fixings located through slotted holes to facilitate deflection within the floor slabs. Window apertures are formed by fixing lengths of track section at the head and sill positions. Short lengths of stud section are...
