Section Profile Summary

This is a standard hot-rolled I-section profile covered by AS 4100. The tabulated section properties are computed from the nominal dimensions per the governing material standard. With Ix = 18,029 cm⁴, the strong-axis flexural stiffness is suitable for preliminary sizing of beams and beam-columns.

At 410 mm deep, this section is common for floor beams, portal frame rafters, and columns in commercial and industrial buildings.

Key Design Checks (AS 4100)

Design Notes

• Compactness: Verify flange and web slenderness against AS 4100 Table B4.1 classification limits for the governing load case (pure compression, pure flexure, or combined).
• Combined loading: For members under simultaneous axial force and bending, use the interaction equations in AS 4100 Section H. The governing equation depends on the ratio of required to available axial strength.
• Connection limit states: Check bolt bearing, tear-out, block shear, and weld strength at all connections. The governing connection limit state often controls the member size selection.

Verification (AS 4100): All designs using this section must be verified by a licensed Professional Engineer. Before finalizing member selection, check beam-column interaction (P-M), lateral-torsional buckling, serviceability deflections, and all connection limit states. See Engineering Disclaimer.

Worked Example: School classroom beam — 410ub67

Scenario: School building — tighter deflection limit for suspended ceiling integrity. Simply supported I-section, 8.2 m span, 2.4 m tributary width. Service loads: 3.5 kPa dead + 3.0 kPa live (15.6 kN/m total).

Given:

• Span L = 8200 mm (8.2 m)
• Total service load w = 15.6 kN/m
• Live load portion w_L = 7.2 kN/m
• Section 410ub67: Ix = 180.3 × 10⁶ mm⁴, Sx = 879,000 mm³, Zx = 982,000 mm³
• Steel: fy = 300 MPa, E = 200,000 MPa
• Design moment resistance: φMn = 0.9 × Zx × fy = 265 kN·m

Step 1 — Live load deflection:

Δ_LL = 5 w_L L⁴ / (384 E Ix)

Δ_LL = 5 × 7.2 × (8200)⁴ / (384 × 200000 × 180,290,000)

Δ_LL = 11.8 mm

Step 2 — Deflection limit (L/360):

Δ_limit = L / 360 = 8200 / 360 = 22.8 mm

Step 3 — Dead + live deflection:

Δ_total = 25.5 mm

Step 4 — Design check:

✓ Live load deflection is within the L/360 limit.

Verify the design moment M*_Ed (from factored loads 1.35G + 1.5Q per AS 4100) does not exceed φMn = 265 kN·m. Also confirm shear resistance and bearing details at the supports.
