Section properties
The structural properties of UPE 240 are available in the Steel Profiles app with the European library:
- Iy, Wel,y, Wpl,y, iy
- Avz shear area
- Iz, Wel,z, Wpl,z, iz
- IT and Iw
- Maximum bolt size and edge distances
- EN 1993-1-1 class for S235, S355 and S460
The app also runs design checks to EN 1993-1-1 on UPE 240, finds the closest sections in the AISC, British, Canadian and Australian standards and compares it side by side with any other section.
