Скачать или смотреть Choosing the Right Steel Section for Shoring | UC vs IPB

Temporary shoring systems demand more than strength — they require stiffness, stability, and economic efficiency.
This short video presents a clear engineering comparison between UC, IPB, and IPE steel sections for structural shoring applications, based on real field examples, structural behavior, and internationally recognized design principles.
Key topics covered:
• Shoring layout using UC sections
• Comparison of UC vs IPB vs IPE under compression
• Buckling resistance and stiffness requirements
• Practical shoring systems with concrete panels
• Economic optimization in temporary works
• Steel profile manufacturing and quality control

According to design philosophies in Eurocode 3 and AISC, UC sections provide superior axial performance and buckling resistance, making them the preferred choice for demanding shoring systems. IPB sections offer a viable alternative, while IPE profiles are generally unsuitable for compression-dominated temporary structures.

This video is intended for:
Structural engineers, construction professionals, site engineers, and students involved in temporary works and excavation support systems.

🎙️ Narration
Temporary shoring systems are not just about strength — they are about stiffness, stability, and economic efficiency.

In shoring design, steel section selection directly affects buckling behavior and structural safety.
According to Eurocode 3 and AISC principles, sections with balanced geometry and higher torsional rigidity perform better under axial loads.

Universal Columns, or UC sections, provide superior axial capacity and buckling resistance compared to IPB sections of similar weight.
IPB sections, in turn, outperform IPE beams, which are primarily designed for bending rather than compression.

Field applications confirm this hierarchy.
UC sections offer the highest reliability, IPB sections provide an acceptable alternative, and IPE profiles should be used only with strict limitations.

Despite higher unit weight, UC sections often reduce the number of required members, resulting in overall cost optimization and improved construction safety.

In temporary works, choosing the right steel section is not optional —
it is a critical engineering decision.
