Product Description
H-section steel is a kind of economical section and high-efficiency section with more optimized cross-sectional area distribution and more reasonable strength-to-weight ratio. It is named because its section is the same as the English letter "H". Since the various parts of the H-shaped steel are arranged at right angles, the H-shaped steel has the advantages of strong bending resistance, simple construction, cost saving and light structure weight in all directions, and has been widely used.
An economical cross-section profile with a cross-sectional shape similar to the capital Latin letter H, also called universal steel beam, wide-edge (side) I-beam or parallel-flange I-beam. The cross section of H-beam usually includes two parts: web and flange, also called waist and edge.
The inner and outer sides of the H-shaped steel flange are parallel or close to parallel, and the flange ends are at right angles, hence the name Parallel Flange I-beam. The thickness of the web of the H-beam is smaller than that of the ordinary I-beam with the same height of the web, and the flange width is larger than that of the ordinary I-beam with the same height of the web, so it is also called the wide-edge I-beam.

1.What is a steel I-beam?
I beam is a shape of structural steel used in buildings and it is also known as H, W, wide, universal beam, or rolled joist. They are designed to play a key role as a support member in structures. These beams have the capacity to withstand various types of loads.
2.What is stronger, H-beam or I-beam?
As a result, H beams are generally considered to be more durable than I beams due to their greater weight and stiffness. However, there are several variables that can influence a beam's strength and performance, including its manufacturing process, composition, and design.
3.What does "I beam" mean?
An I-beam-or I beam-is a standard structural steel shape that serves as critical framework for the metal building industry for a range of constructions.
4.Why is it called an I-beam?
Their name comes from their distinctive cross-sectional shape, which resembles the letter "I" or "H." Each beam features horizontal elements called flanges and a vertical element known as a web, enabling the I-beam to handle various types of loads effectively.
5.What are the 4 types of beams?
Double overhanging – a simple beam with both ends extending beyond its supports on both ends. Continuous – a beam extending over more than two supports. Cantilever – a projecting beam fixed only at one end. Trussed – a beam strengthened by adding a cable or rod to form a truss.
