Question:

Is there much steel in I-beam in steel structure?

Is there much steel in I-beam in steel structure?

Answer:

There are many types of H steel in I-beamDue to the relatively high section size and narrow section of ordinary I-beam and light I-beam, the moment of inertia of the two main sleeves of the cross section is different greatly, which makes it have great limitations in its application. The use of I-beam shall be selected according to the requirements of the design drawings.
In structural design, the selection of I-beam shall be based on its mechanical properties, chemical properties, weldability, structure size and so on
H steel is a kind of economical cut type steel (other cold bending thin wall steel, pressed steel plate, etc.). Because of the reasonable cross-section shape, they can make steel more effective and improve the capacity of cutting. Unlike ordinary I-beam, the flange of H steel is widened, and the inner and outer surfaces are usually parallel so that it is easy to connect with high strength bolts and other components. The size of the utility model is reasonable, the model is complete, and the design is convenient for selection.
