Abstract(s)
Beams with long spans are increasingly used in the steel building constructions and usually are used with openings for technical equipment and ventilations systems cut in their web. These elements are structural steel beams that are deeper than normal rolled sections, with distributed circular openings, or other like squared or hexagonal, that are produced by cutting and welding hot rolled steel sections (Westok method). The split halves are then offset and welded together to form a deeper beam with full circular or hexagonal shaped web openings. This method reduces the floor height and therefore the overall height of building.
