Understanding I-beam sizes: a comprehensive guide

Standard sizes of I-beams I-beams, also known as H-beams, are characterized by their cross-sectional shape. Their dimensions and properties are standardized for consistency and reliability in structural applications. I-beams efficiently resist bending and shear loads, making them ideal for various structural applications such as building frames, bridges, platforms, and crane rails. Designation and dimensions I-beams…

Custom fabrication of steel I-beams: what you need to know

Also known as universal beams, H-beams, or W-beams, these are structural elements characterized by their distinctive I or H shape in cross-section. This design maximizes strength while reducing material usage, making them ideal for supporting heavy loads over long spans. They are widely used in construction and manufacturing due to their excellent load-bearing capacity, high…
