Castellated Beam Design Software
A new generation of cellular beams The cellular ACB® and Angelina™ beams, with their circular and sinusoidal web openings, elegantly combine function with flexibility. Alternatives to trusses and open-web joist systems, castellated beams are lightweight, long-spanning, structural elements that enable the design of vast column-free spaces. They can be used in composite or non-composite systems. Their web openings permit installation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) pipes and ducts within the depth of the beam, thereby allowing for compact ceiling systems and maximized floor-to-ceiling heights. In addition, the repetition of the perforations ensures that variations, during construction or throughout the life of the structure, in the layout of the MEP system can easily be accommodated. Architecturally striking, cellular ACB® and Angelina™ beams are every year seeing increased use in the built environment.
