2.1 Rules of Thumb
1. Grade Ø S355 for major structures
2. Beams Ø Light Loading – Span/25; Medium – Span/20; Heavy – Span/15
3. Frame Form Ø Economics and ease of calculation
4. Stanchions Ø Portal Leg D ≈ H / 10
5. Columns Ø D ≈ No Storeys * 100 / 4 (rnd 50) NOT < 203
6. Economics Ø Deeper the Beam the more economical?
7. Eurocodes Ø As above

2.3 Deflections
Portal Eaves – Metal cladding d ≤ h/150
Portal Eaves – Masonry d ≤ h/300
Portal Apex – d ≤ S/200
Dead Floor d ≤ 15mm
Imposed d ≤ S/360
Total d ≤ S/250 (S/300 Mangan Factor)
2.4 Composite Design
In composite design for 19mm Æ studs then minimum size of reinf is 10mm bars
Composite beams
Slab Perpendicular \Studs per trough
Slab Parallel \Studs @ 200mm c/c
Effective Width
Secondary = Spacing or Span/4
Primary = 0.8*Spacing or Span/4
Edge Beams – Half of above values plus projection of slab beyond the C/L of beam
