Abstract
Building structures must function according to façade engineering, integrating structural design with load analysis to ensure safe transmission of loads from facade and substructure to the primary structure while accommodating differential moments. To achieve efficient, strong systems, section modulus becomes crucial, particularly in primary and sub structural members of varied materials, where built-up beams play a vital role. This chapter analyzes structural behavior of different built-up beam designs for high-performance facades. Investigating properties such as center of gravity, moment of inertia, shear force, bending moment, bending and shear stresses enhances load-carrying capacity, material optimization, and adaptability to complex geometries. Further, connection strategies are evaluated for resisting wind loads and supporting cladding systems. Beam modeling and FEA help assess stresses and optimize cross-sections for stiffness and strength, strengthening the role of built-up beams in façade engineering for durable and impactful structural integration.
