The double tee section Double Tees usually are provided in a range of depths from 300mmto 800mm
The 600mm Double Tee can carry 2.5 kN/m2 car park loading to 16m. In countries where car park loading
is taken as 3kN/m2 and parking spans are up to 20m, a 700mm deep unit can be used

The Double Tee Beam

Double Tees can be made to a 2.4m module or a 3m module to fit


into an architectural grid. The top flanges can be curtailed easily and
single tees can be cast

Double Tees have an end cage of shear links and have a light mesh in the top table
scarfed (dapped) ends can be provided as can skewed units

su

The Double Tee has a technical


advantage compared with symmetrical
sections because of the high centriod
of the section and the resulting
difference between Zupper and Zlower

sl

For example a 2.4 m wide 600mm deep double tee typically carries car park loading over a span
of 16m. Its self weight is 7.34kN/m, Car park loading is 6kN/m
Zu = 54.53 mm3 x 106 Zl = 26.14 mm3 x 106 M = (7.34 + 6)162/8 = 426.88kNm
su = 436.88/54.53 = 8 N/mm2
sl = 426.88/26.14 = 16.33 N/mm2
Thus su is small where it is additive and sl is large where it is subtractive

Double Tees are usually connected


by welded shear connectors and a
welded end tie to the structural frame
is used to carry stability tie forces

Simple supports or continuity are possible


Note that double tees are always erected on Neoprene bearing pads

Long and short units placed


next to each other, for example
at the top and bottom of car
park ramps should be packed
to minimise camber differences.
