What are Steel Beams Used For?
We've already mentioned steel beams are almost everywhere in residential and industrial facilities, but let's examine what a beam does. A steel beam's job is to support heavy loads, increasing the strength and stability of your main structure. They're also designed to resist shear force so it doesn't buckle or tear apart – an excellent property to have if you're located in areas prone to seismic activity.
Beams are used as structural elements to support buildings, acting as either a primary or secondary support i.e a support frame or the load-bearing column to withstand load from another element of the structure.
Beams are determined by their shapes i.e H or I, size, material and how they're connected to your building's structure. While the beams discussed in this article are made from steel, other materials such as timber, or concrete can also be used.
