Are I-beam and H steel the same thing?
I-beam and H steel are not the same thing, there is a difference.
I-beam, also called steel girder, is a long strip steel with cross sectionSimple, distinguished from appearance:The length of the I-beam is small and the height is big. It can only bear the force in one direction.The H steel groove is deep and big in thickness and can bear two directions of force.With the development of steel structure construction, only I-beam is not available, that is thickening I-beam, used for load-bearing columns, easy to instability.I-beam can only be used for cross beams, and H steel can be used for structural load-bearing columns.
First of all, H steel flange width, and secondly, the inner edge of the flange has no slope, parallel to the upper and lower surfaces. The section characteristic of H steel is obviously better than that of traditional i-beam. Type steel flange head, flange surface with gradient (1: 6), the flange is thin and thick, resulting in two main I-beam section characteristic plane is huge, it is difficult to play the strength characteristics of steel in the application. I-beam has been gradually eliminated by section H steel.I-beam, also called steel girder, is a long strip steel with cross section. Simple to distinguish from the surface: steel side of small, high height, can only bear the force of single direction. The H steel groove is deep and big in thickness and can bear two directions of force. With the development of steel structure construction, only I-beam is not available, that is thickening I-beam, used for load-bearing columns, easy to instability. I-beam can only be used for cross beams, and H steel can be used for structural load-bearing columns.
