Q: Where can I find span tables for simply supported composite beams?
A: Liberty OneSteel has a Design note No. D3 that contains span tables covering various primary and secondary beam spans with common design floor loadings. A copy can be downloaded here: https://www.libertyonesteel.com/media/2394/composite-span-tables.pdf
Q: Where can I find tables for UBs so I can select beams based on maximum deflections of cantilevers and simply supported beams?
A: The Australian Steel Institute produces a publication entitled Design Capacity Tables for Structural Steel that can assist. You can purchase a copy of the publication by going to www.steel.org.au/bookshop. Note that you’ll need advice from a suitably qualified structural engineer to interpret the information in this publication.
