Welded plate sections
used to frame element without anti-corrosion coating

Input the global mass of the welded plate section in kg. By pressing the "Calculate" command, you can also determine the mass of a portal frame (a portal frame is an assembly of 2 columns and 2 beams consisting of welded plate sections), by providing the dimensions of the industry plates comprising each welded plate section in the portal frame.

Input the mass percentage of fasteners and reinforcements (plates, gussets, stiffeners, studs, etc.) in the finished product. By default, it is assumed to be 6.226% of the mass of the finished welded plate sections, a value corresponding to the quantity calculated for the reference FDES (Fiche de Déclaration Environnementale et Sanitaire [environmental and health declaration sheet]).

The finished welded plate sections is obtained by shaping the industry steel beam, in particular with the addition of fasteners and reinforcements, by the metal constructor. It corresponds to the product leaving the workshop, which is then transported and then assembled on site.

Input the mass percentage of assembly accessories (bolts, washers) in relation to the finished product. By default, it is assumed to be 0.921% of the mass of the finished welded plate sections, a value corresponding to the quantity calculated for the reference FDES (Fiche de Déclaration Environnementale et Sanitaire [environmental and health declaration sheet]).

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