Profile overview for UBP 460x460x269

The UBP 460x460x269 is a structural steel cross-section utilized in commercial construction, industrial framing, and mechanical engineering. Manufactured as a hot rolled section, it complies with EN 10365 dimensional standards, ensuring predictability in detailing and fabrication.Access to its exact geometric and statical properties is essential for 3D modeling and structural verification.

Geometry: This open profile features a total depth (h) of 457 mm and a flange width (b) of 457 mm, supported by a 25.4 mm thick web and 25.4 mm thick flanges. With a cross-sectional area of 34300 mm² and a linear mass of 269 kg/m, the UBP 460x460x269 offers a distinct stiffness-to-weight ratio for both column (axial) and beam applications.

Section properties: For design of bending, the major and minor axis properties dictate the member's structural capacity. The strong-axis moment of inertia (Iy) of 1254000000 mm⁴ governs major deflection and serviceability limits. To calculate the ultimate bending resistance, engineers may utilize the strong-axis plastic section modulus of 6209000 mm³. For lateral stability and column buckling verifications, the weak-axis moment of inertia (Iz) provides 404900000 mm⁴ of lateral stiffness.

Advanced analysis: For complex load cases, the UBP 460x460x269 provides a y-axis shear area (at strong bending axis) of 23215.6 mm² for web shear verification and a torsion constant of 8601000 mm⁴ for calculating rotational twist under eccentric loading. Additionally, a warping constant of 18810000000000 mm⁶ is available for rigorous lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) checks.
