Arcelor ACB Beams

ArcelorCellular Beams®Tools to assist in your project design

• 50 abacs for initial project calculationThese abacs can be used to determine the appropriate ACB® beam section as a function of span, load, version, concrete quality and slab thickness.

Arcelor Cellular Beams®

Advantages for constructional creativityDesign, space-gain, feelings for detail and functionality are among the decisive advantages of ACB® cellular beams for fl oors and deckings.

• Aesthetics ACB® beams make it possible to create slender, aesthetically pleasing and functional structures that allow greater freedom of design and imagination.

• Lightness Choosing ACB® beams reduces constructional height, the number of beams, the size of the foundations and many physical constraints, leading to signifi cantly lighter structures.

• Savings The savings in weight and height, the customised prefabrication (and consequent limitation of cutting on site), the reduced assembly time and the rapid installation of utilities are real economies that considerably reduce construction costs.

• Speed The just-in-time delivery to the site of ACB® beams and the speed of assembly without sacrifi cing safety are major advantages.

Infi nite possible combinationsDepending on the desired objective, stiffness or high load bearing capacity and according to the application, there are infi nite possible combinations.

Starting from one or two basic sections, ACB® beams offer a multitude of geometrical confi gurations in terms of diameters, spacings and openings, up to 1.60 metres in height.

Manufacture: the perfect technical answer to all your requirementsACB® cellular beams are manufactured from H or I hot rolled steel sections by cutting the web and reassembling by welding the two sections tip to tip or with the addition of intermediate fl ats. This method of manufacture has been patented.

All the process steps for manufacturing and customised part-fi nishing of ACB® cellular beams are brought together in as single process fl ow: bending/arching, cambering, manufacture of hybrid or variable stiffness beams, ...This type of manufacture allows precise adjustment of the height of the beam.
