Types of beam cross sections I sections are used for normal spans and loadings with all the geometrical properties available in IS 800 : 2007.
I section with cover plates are used when the loads are heavy and the spans are large. Additional cover plates increases the lateral load resistance with increase
Two I sections with cover plates can be used when very heavy loads and spans act on the beam.
Two I sections placed one above the other are used when the loads are light with large spans , where deflection is the main criteria Design own design
Gantry girders are used in industrial buildings to lift loads and typical sections
C/S OF PLATE GIRDERS Plate girders are used where the spans exceed 20m and the loads are heavy
Castellated beams are special sections fabricated from I sections and are used for light loads and large spans
Box sections have large torsional rigidity and can be used as single cell, twin cellor multi - cell sections.

Lateral Stability of Beams A beam transversely loaded in its own plane can attain its full capacity (Plastic moment) only if local and lateral instabilities are prevented Local buckling of beams can be due to web crippling and web buckling. Lateral stability of beams is affected by span of the beam, moment of inertia and the support conditions .

Few minor failures
Local failures of flanges (Secondary design checks The local failure of flanges (plates) reduces the plastic moment capacity of the section due to buckling and is avoided by limiting the outstand to thickness ratios as given in IS 800: 2007 .
Local failures of web (Secondary design checks The web of a beam is thin and can fail locally at supports or where concentrated loads are acting. There are two types of web failure – Web Crippling (or Crimpling) Web Buckling
Web Crippling (or Crimpling) Web crippling causes local crushing failure of web due to large bearing stresses under reactions at supports or concentrated loads. Web crippling is the crushing failure of the metal at the junction of flange and web. Web crippling causes local buckling of web at the junction of web and flange.
33 Shear yielding near support Web buckling Web crippling
Web Buckling The web of the beam is thin and can buckle under reactions and concentrated loads with the web behaving like a short column fixed at the flanges.

Shear lag effects In simple theory of bending, plane sections remain plane before and after bending require that no SF is present in the beam This results in non uniform distribution of flexural stresses in the flanges with stress being greater at the junction of flange and web. This is known as shear lag effect.
Section Classification There are four classes of section namely Plastic, Compact, Semi - Compact and Slender sections as given in IS 800 : 2007. [cl. 3.7.2 pp - 17] For design of beams, only Plastic and Compact sections are used.

48 DESIGN OF FLEXURAL MEMBER AND BENDING WITH HIGH SHEAR
1.Laterally Supported (Restrained) beams Beams subjected to BM develop compressive and tensile forces and the flange subjected to compressive forces has the tendency to deflect laterally. This out of plane bending is called lateral bending or buckling of beams . The lateral bending of beams depends on the effective span between the restraints, minimum moment of inertia (IYY)and its presence reduces the plastic moment capacity of the section. Beams where lateral buckling of the compression flange are prevented are called laterally restrained beams
2.Laterally unsupported beam Beams subjected to BM develop compressive and tensile forces and the flange subjected to compressive forces has the tendency to deflect laterally. This out of plane bending is called lateral bending or buckling of beams. Lateral buckling of beams involves three kinds of deformations namely lateral bending, twisting and warping
Behaviour of beams If the web is too thin, the beam can fail in shear due to diagonal compression . The beam can also fail due to local effects such as web buckling, web crippling or distortion of flanges if these effects are not considered in the design. If the beam is not restrained laterally, the beam can undergo elastic lateral torsional buckling and can fail due to instability with large lateral deflections, rotations and warping.
Shear strength of Beams Shear forces always exists with BMs and the maximum shear stress has to be checked with the shear yield stress ..
Maximum Deflection Excessive deflection causes problems in the functioning of the structure. It can harm floor finishes, cause cracks in partitions and excessive vibrations in industrial buildings and ponding of water in roofs. Cl.5.6. 1, 5.6.1.1 and Table 6 gives relevant specifications

62 Local Buckling In IS:800 (1984) the local buckling is avoided by specifying b/t limits. Hence we don’t consider local buckling explicitly However in IS:800(2007) limit state design, the local buckling would be the first aspect as far as the beam design is concerned How do we consider? By using section classification
63 DESIGN OF BEAM COLUMN Combined action of bending and axial force (tension or compression) occurs in following situations. Any member in a portal frame. Beam transferring reaction load to column. Effect of lateral load on a column due to wind, earthquake Effect of eccentric load by crane loading due to bracket connection to column. In case of principal rafter, purlins not placed exactly over joint of roof truss.
