Cold formed beam
used as joist

Your finished product's linear mass density (kg/m), obtained on the basis of the information provided above. The product is galvanized.

The finished beam is obtained by shaping a sheet from a galvanized steel coil. It corresponds to the product leaving the manufacturing site, which is then transported and then assembled on site.

Input the mass percentage of assembly accessories (splice plates, ridge ribs, fasteners, purlin cleats, etc.) in relation to the finished product. By default, it is assumed to be 12.938% of the finished beam mass, a value corresponding to the quantity calculated for the reference FDES (Fiche de Déclaration Environnementale et Sanitaire [environmental and health declaration sheet]). The accessories are galvanized.

Input the distance of the transport carried out by road, in kilometres, between the processing plant and the construction site, which has a default value of 593,12 km (value determined from data collected on sites).

Input the distance of the transport carried out by river, in kilometres, between the processing plant and the construction site, which has a default value of 13,51 km (value determined from data collected on sites).

Your beam’s reference service life (RSL) in years. Non-parameterable data, provided for information.
