This optimization leads to the highest reduction of material consumption and cost. RAM SBeam is powerful versatile software available for the designing of castellated beam dimensions and castellated beam sections. The implemented methods allow the optimization of weight (through section size, opening depth, width and distance) and steel grade adapted to the project’s requirements. Design Guide 31 provides a brief history of castellated and cellular beams and highlights recent innovative applications and potential economic benefits of their use. The methods adopted in this software exploit the results of tests on full-size beams and of numerous numerical simulations. The development of a high-performance design and calculation tool (Angelina™software), available to design offices and architects, favors the use of Angelina™ beams. The lightweight appearance of Angelina beams, combined with their high strength, stimulates the architects to new structural forms. This flexibility goes together with the functionality of allowing technical installations (pipes and ducts) to pass through the openings. (a) From the analysis and design (Euro Code guidelines) of a castellated I beam provided with stiffeners in transverse stiffeners. Structures are lightened and spans increased, thus open spaces by increased size of column-free floor areas. The use of Angelina beams allows a new architectural expression.
