A structural turbine engine casing is disclosed. The casing includes a central hub, at least one intermediate shroud, and an external ring, which are concentric, the external ring and the intermediate shroud being connected via links, the intermediate shroud and the central hub being connected by a series of radially fastened hollow arms. The series of arms includes at least one main arm and at least one secondary arm, each main arm being arranged in the continuation of a link and having a mass which is greater than that of a secondary arm arranged at a distance from the links.

The invention claimed is: 1. A structural turbine engine casing comprising, a central hub; at least one intermediate shroud; an external ring; links which are pivotally connected to the external ring and the intermediate shroud; and a series of radially fastened hollow arms which connect the intermediate shroud and the central hub, wherein the central hub, the intermediate shroud, and the external ring are concentric about an axial direction, wherein the series of arms comprises at least one main arm and at least one secondary arm, each main arm being arranged in the continuation of a link and having a mass which is greater than that of a secondary arm arranged at a distance from the links, wherein a length of the main arm and a length of the secondary arm in the axial direction is the same, and wherein each arm comprises a hollow main body which includes a leading edge and side walls, and wherein each main arm includes a wall thickness which is greater than a wall thickness of each secondary arm across at least one transverse section. 2. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein each main arm includes at least one region with a wall thickness which is greater than the thickness of the walls of the remainder of the main arm. 3. The casing as claimed in claim 2, in which the main arm has a progressive reduction in wall thickness between the region of greater thickness and the remainder of the arm. 4. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wall thickness of the secondary arms is substantially 70% of the wall thickness of each main arm. 5. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein each hollow arm comprises, downstream of the main body, fin walls forming a trailing edge, the fin walls including a thickness which is smaller than the wall thickness of the main body of the arm. 6. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein each link is articulated on two pivot pins which are fixed to the external ring and to the intermediate shroud, respectively, the pivot pins being transverse with respect to the axial direction of the casing. 7. A turbine engine which comprises at least one structural casing as claimed in claim 1. 8. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein a wall thickness of a leading edge of each main arm is greater at a base portion of the main arm disposed closer to the central hub. 9. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein a wall thickness of a leading edge of each main arm decreases along a radial direction from a base portion of the main arm to a top portion of the main arm. 10. The casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wall thickness of the side walls of each second arm has a reduction in thickness of 25% to 50% of the wall thickness of the side walls of each main arm.
