What's the difference between I-beam and H?
Section H steelH steel is widely used in steel structure construction. It has many differences comparing with i-beam. The first is the flange, followed by the inner edge of the flange without tilting, parallel to the upper and lower surfaces. The section characteristics of H steel are obviously better than those of traditional I-beam, channel steel and angle steel.
The difference and application description of H steel and I-beamI-steel whether ordinary or light, because the section size are relatively high and narrow, so the moment of inertia of the main sections of the two sleeve is large, therefore, generally only can be directly used in the web plane bending member or the composition of lattice stress components. It is not suitable for the axial compression member or the bent member perpendicular to the web plane, which has great limitations in its application.
I-beamI like the name suggests, is a funny site shaped steel flange on the inner surface of slope is generally 1:6, the flange and the thickness of thin, resulting in two main characteristics of I-beam section plane is huge, just to play strength characteristics in the application. Although there has been a thicker I-beam on the I-beam market, the structure of I-beam has decided its torsional performance.
