What are H and I beams
Steel H and I beams are both types of RSJ (rolled steel joist). These steel beams are made up of two key parts – the flanges and the web. The flanges refer to the two horizontal planes on either end of the beam, whilst the web refers to the vertical plane between them. The web shields the beam against brute forces, whilst the flanges prevent it from bending.
Generally speaking, steel beams are used to provide structural support to heavy loads within a construction project. This includes providing a full skeleton for a new property, or structural reinforcements for an extension or external wall opening. But which type of steel beam is right for you? There's a clear difference between H and I beams, and their different qualities can make a big impact on your construction project.
