deflection IPE or HEA?

[nikke]

hi!
I am planning to remove a load-bearing wall and was thinking of using an HEA 200 beam, but I've heard that the IPE beam handles the deflection that occurs after a few years better?
Should I choose IPE or HEA 200??

Anyone know //Niklas

A HEA can handle a higher load than an equivalent IPE.
Therefore, the deflection is less with a HEA200 compared to an IPE200.

Deflection that occurs after a few years ???
We are talking steel now, and with this wonderful material, you don't get a long-term deformation to speak of.

You choose IPE when you want the lowest possible weight in relation to strength, and HEA when you want low construction height in relation to strength.
It is quite true that an HEA 200 can handle more load than an IPE 200, but on the other hand, it also weighs considerably more.

Then there is HEB if you want to go down a bit in size with unchanged strength.

Yes, or HEM, but then we're talking about quite heavy beams.

ok thanks! was recommended HEA200 by someone who calculated what we needed, but became a bit unsure when I read in another thread that IPE handled deflection better...
but we'll go with HEA200...
