CASTELLATED BEAM
Built up Section from UC Beam or Joist
Castella beams
Formed by flame cutting a standard
universal beam or column section
The increase in depth gives greater
resistance to deflection without adding
extra weight
Economical when used to support lightly
loaded floor or roof slabs

RIVETS
Rivets are manufactured from mild steel
bars
Rivets are made from bars by a machine
which forms the head and cuts the rivet of
the desired length as required.
The size rivet is the diameter of the shank.
Generally superseded by bolted and
welded connections
Available as cold or hot forged with a
variety of head shapes

Black bolts
The cheapest form of bolt available,the black bolt can
be either hot or cold forged,the thread being machined
onto the shank.

Steel grade 2
Zinc plated low carbon steel. Best for general hardware
use where high strength is not required.
Steel grade 5
Made from medium carbon steel,
tempered and zinc plated.
Best for automotive use and other areas where
higher strength is desired.
Steel grade 8
Made from medium carbon alloy steel,
tempered and yellow zinc plated.
Best suited for applications where high strength and
hardness is required.
NUTS

Hex nuts
Used for fastening to a bolt when
mechanically joining materials together
WELDING
WELDING
The basic method of welding are oxyacetylene and electric arc
Classify as fillet or butts weld;
Fillet-used to the edges and end of
members.
Butts-used on chamfered end to end
connections.
