Flange Thickness (mm)

Plates (Top & Bottom)

No plates added. Click "Add Plate" to add reinforcement plates (applied symmetrically to top and bottom).

Stiffeners (Web Sides)

Stiffeners are vertical plates placed on both sides of the web at regular intervals. Depth is automatically calculated as: (300 - 15) / 2 = 142.5 mm

No stiffener regions added. Click "Add Stiffener Region" to add stiffeners along the beam length.

Use dual I-beam configuration (side by side)

About This Application

This application designs test beams for pile load tests according to Eurocode EN 1993-1-1. The test setup uses two reaction piles and one test pile with a hydraulic jack. All structural calculations include comprehensive checks for bending, shear, deflection, local buckling, lateral torsional buckling, and bearing stress. Minimum spacing requirements (3D between piles) are enforced for safe testing conditions.
