![]() ![]() In 1987, Westok Structural Services Ltd of Wakefield invented and patented the structural steel cellular beam. The type of deflection is mainly done by bending. ![]() The cellular beam is a structural element that mainly withstands structural load laterally applied to the axis of the beam, and influences the overall performance of steel framed buildings. Cellular beams are usually made of structural steel, but can also be made of other materials. A cellular beam has round openings (circular pattern) while the castellated beam has hexagonal openings (hexagonal pattern), both of which are achieved by a cutting and welding process. The difference between cellular beam and castellated beam is the visual characteristic. The advantage of the steel beam castellation process is that it increases strength without adding weight, making both versions an inexpensive solution to achieve maximum structural load capacity in building construction. Cellular beam is a further development of the traditional castellated beam. ![]()
