Using extensive theoretical analysis and testing, an in-depth
study into the strength-to-weight ratio of profiled cold rolled 5
steel sections was conducted. It was discovered that the profile

of the web and flange can significantly increase the stress limit,
thereby achieving an optimum bending strength with thinner 3
gauge materials and stiffness of sections.

The advantages are immediately apparent with lighter gauge Span of Beam (m)
sections providing simpler on-site handling. Longer spans can
be achieved with lighter gauge sections providing cost savings. The graph above clearly demonstrates the ability of the Sigma beams
to carry loads for spans up to 8m (BS5950:5).
In the material, reducing the number of hot rolled sections
required increases floor space available to the end users.

MezaMega
Steel Building Solutions offer a range of sections whose purpose is to extend cold rolled beam spans up to a clear span of 12m.
Manufactured on state of the art rolling lines we offer sections ranging in depth between 300mm and 450mm and in gauges
between 2mm and 4mm. Standard mezzanine floor loading will be accommodated with the additional ability to consider heavier
load requirements. Please contact our structural engineering team with specific requirements whereby we will gladly offer advice
and design confirmation.
The MezaMega range can be supplied with notches allowing compatibility with large primary hot rolled beams.
For information on notch sizes and range of hole piercing available please contact the Steel Building Solutions sales team.

Kingspan MezaLite Floor System

Kingspan MezaLite floor system is an economical mezzanine floor solution using cold formed steel
sections for both primary and secondary beams. In the MezaLite system, Sigma 225/300 beams
are taken as the primary beam, replacing conventional hot rolled beams, and the secondary beam
can be KS/KC150/200 or KS225/300 dependent of loading conditions. Both primary beam and
secondary beam can be designed using Kingspan Steel Building Solutions beam design software.

Tie Bar for Primary Beam

One pair of tie bars are used at the middle of primary beams between the columns, however it is recommended that the fixing
holes coincide with the cleat holes of the nearest to the middle the beam. In this case, the long cleat bolt (M16) can be taken as
cleat connection bolts and tie bars to replace M12 tie bars.

– Along secondary beam direction, the cantilever can be created by composite cleat and primary beam.
– The Composite cleat can be built up using 2No PC225/300W3B and 1No PC225/300CAN cleats connected by 4No M16 bolts
with 8.8 grade and 4No 5.5mm Tek screws located next to the bolts.
Composite cleats must be connected to the column directly through the primary beam.
–
– The cantilever length is adjustable when locating different holes on PC225/300CAN cleat. Therefore the total length can
be changed from 320mm to 470mm with 25mm spacing.
– Based on the arrangement detail shown in above figure, the composite cantilever cleat only supports half-loading
subjected on the deck board above the cantilever, which can be design using the Kingspan beam design software.
– Section properties of the composite cleat referred to the following table.

Top Cleats – Tie Bars – Decking

Tie Bars and Decking Tie Bars

When the floor is designed using Sigma sections with 100mm
Beam Centres (mm) Length of Bar (mm)
legs, the centre line of the wider flat part (70mm) of flange
should be taken as the centre of the secondary beam, so the 300 450
end of the decking boards should meet at the centre of the 400 550
wider flat part of the flange rather than the centre of the 600 750
whole flange as correctly shown above.
1000 1150
In the floor design, the beam is fully laterally restrained by
decking boards and tie bars. The decking board fixed on the
top flange with fixings spaced less than 1.2m, provide sufficient
lateral support. For spans over 3.0m, one tie bar must be used
at a middle span location to the lower web holes of facing
sections. When spans exceed 6.0m, two tie bars must be
used at a third of the span.
20 Steel Building Solutions Mezzanine Floors

Cantilever Solutions

On the long leg of Kingspan profiled cleats, a pair of Ø5mm

holes are pre-punched which can be used for the cantilever
solution. The arrangement of cantilever includes:

4mm – PC cleat is connected with the cantilever section by a

25 pair of M12 or M18 bolts (which is related to section size)
and one pair of 5.5mm Tek screws.
– At the end of cantilever (25mm from the end), one
Normal Cantilever
Tie tie bar is needed for one pair of cantilever sections to

bar restrain the lateral movement of cantilever sections.
2-Ø5.5 (No.12)
Tek Screw – For top flange of each cantilever section, at least
one decking screw is needed at the end of section.
The screw distance from end should be less than 25mm.
– The maximum cantilever length is 500mm.
25 – Cantilever floor beams can be designed by Kingspan
floor design software.

Lc (Cantilever length) – Mezzanine top flange is set 4mm above the top
flange of the HR beam.

The enormity of climate change, and its accelerating implications, continues to gain much
greater exposure than at any stage in the past. With that comes a very evident shift in demand
for all solutions that will contribute to an easing of these pressures over the medium to long term.
Combine this with decreasing reserves of fossil fuels, increasing reliance on distant suppliers, uncertainty of supply and spiralling
energy costs, it is more important than ever before to provide energy efficient buildings.
Kingspan delivers low energy consumption buildings across all sectors of the property market with high performance insulation
and renewable solutions that save up to 44% of heating energy usage.
