First the steel beam 1 and some embodiments and variants of the steel beam 1 will be described in greater detail.
The steel beam 1 comprises a base plate 2, two web parts 3 extending from the base plate 2, and an end plate 4 at opposite ends of the base plate 2 of the steel beam 1.
The web parts 3 can be arranged at the base plate 2 so that at least one elongated supporting surface (not marked with a reference numeral) for example for hollow core slabs is formed at the base plate 2.
The steel beam 1 can be formed by welding together a base plate 2, two web parts 3, and two end plates 4 of steel.
Is also possible that at least two of the base plate 2, the two web parts 3, and the two end plates 4 are produced from a common steel plate by bending.
The base plate 2, the two web parts 3 and the end plates 4 forms a space 5 that is at least partly limited by the base plate 2, the two web parts 3, and the two end plates 4. The space 5 can be configured to be filled with concrete (not shown in the figures). In the space 5 is configured to be filled with concrete can at least one reinforcement bar (not shown in the figures) be arranged in the space 5.
At least one of the ends of the steel beam 1 comprises a console supporting slot 6 extending from said at least one end of the steel beam 1. In the embodiments of the steel beam 1 illustrated in
The console supporting slot 6 forms a first slot 7 in the end plate 4 so that the first slot 7 extend from the lower end edge 8 of the end plate 4 and a second slot 9 in the base plate 2 so that the second slot 9 extend from an end edge 10 of the base plate 2.
The console supporting slot 6 is at least partly laterally limited by side plates 11 inside the space 5 of the steel beam 1. The side plates 11 are attached for example by welding to the end plate 4 and to the base plate 2.
By utilizing the side plates 11 attached to the end plate 4 and to the base plate 2 inside the space 5, it is easy to secure the steel beam 1 to a console 16 extending into the console supporting slot 6 so that also horizontal forces can be transferred from the steel beam 1 to the console 16. The side plates 11 also makes it generally easy to secure the steel beam 1 to the console 16.
The steel beam 1 can comprise a top plate 12 that extends between the two web parts 3 and that extends between the two end plates 4. The top plate 12 can extend between the upper edges (not marked with a reference numeral) of the web parts 3, as illustrated in
At least one of the two web parts 3 can comprise apertures 13 for feeding concrete (not shown in the figures) into the space 5 to form a steel-concrete-composite beam. If the space 5 is configured to be filled with concrete can at least one reinforcement bar (not shown in the figures) be arranged in the space 5.
On or both of the web parts 3 can extend perpendicularly or in an angle or in an inclined manner with respect to the base plate 2.
The end plates 4 can be arranged essentially perpendicularly to the base plate 2
The side plates 11 are preferably, but not necessarily, arranged essentially perpendicularly to the base plate 2.
The side plates 11 are preferably, but not necessarily, in the form of planar sheets of steel. The side plates 11 can be rectangular.
In this first embodiment of the steel beam 1, the second slot 9 has preferably, but not necessarily, a uniform width between the end of the steel beam 1 and the widened slot section 14 of the second slot 9.
In this first embodiment of the steel beam 1, the side plates 11 are preferably, but not necessarily identical and the side plates 11 extend preferably, but not necessarily, in parallel at opposite sides of the console supporting slot 6 inside the space 5 of the steel beam 1.
In this first embodiment of the steel beam 1, the widened slot section 14 extend preferably, but not necessarily, in two opposite directions in the base plate 2.
In the second and third embodiment of the steel beam 1, at least one of the side plates 11 comprises at least one first opening 17 for an external fastening means 22, for example a bolt, as illustrated in

It is also possible that a steel beam 1 according to the first embodiment illustrated in
The side plates 11 laterally at least partly limiting the console supporting slot 6 can, as shown in connection with illustrating in
Next the supporting arrangement for supporting a steel beam 1 at console 16 configured to be arranged at a support structure 27 of a building and some embodiments and variants of the supporting structure will be described in greater detail.
The steel beam 1 comprises a base plate 2, two web parts 3 extending from the base plate 2, and an end plate 4 at opposite ends of the base plate 2 of the steel beam 1.
The web parts 3 can be arranged at the base plate 2 so that at least one elongated supporting surface (not marked with a reference numeral) for example for hollow core slabs is formed at the base plate 2.
The steel beam 1 can be formed by welding together a base plate 2, two web parts 3, and two end plates 4 of steel. Is also possible that at least two of the base plate 2, two web parts 3, and two end plates 4 are produced from a common steel plate by bending.
The base plate 2, the two web parts 3 and the end plates 4 forms a space 5 that is at least partly limited by the base plate 2, the two web parts 3, and the two end plates 4. The space 5 can be configured to be filled with concrete (not shown in the figures). If the space 5 is configured to be filled with concrete can at least one reinforcement bar (not shown in the figures) be arranged in the space 5.
