<strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Designers</strong>' <strong>Manual</strong> - 6th Edition (2003)<br />

Inspection of the relevant tables in Reference 2 shows that when used as beams:<br />

S275 steel<br />

all UBs are plastic<br />

all but 4 UCs are plastic<br />

(2 are semi-compact)<br />

S355 steel<br />

all but 7 UBs are plastic<br />

(1 is semi-compact)<br />

all but 9 UCs are plastic<br />

(6 are semi-compact)<br />

In those cases of semi-compact sections, moment capacities based on My are listed.<br />

The full list of non-plastic beam sections is given as Table 16.2.<br />

When using fabricated sections individual checks on the web and compression<br />

flange using the actual dimensions of the trial section must be made. It normally<br />

proves much simpler if proportions are selected so as to ensure that the section is<br />

compact or better since the resulting calculations need not then involve the various<br />

complications associated with the use of non-compact sections. This point is particularly<br />

noticeable when designing bridge beams to BS 5400: Part 3. When slender<br />

sections are used the amount of calculation increases considerably due to the need<br />

to consider loss of effectiveness of some parts of the cross section due to local buckling<br />

when determining Mc. Probably the most frequent use of slender sections<br />

involves cold-formed shapes used for example as roof purlins. Because of their<br />
