A steel beam is a metal beam. Most often it is placed in the structure horizontally or at an angle. The main function of such a beam is the uniform distribution of the load, which ensures the stability and durability of the structure. This type of rolled metal is extremely important in the construction of residential buildings and various structures such as bridges, stadiums, hangars, overpasses, industrial workshops, exhibition and shopping centers.
The classification of a steel beam depends on its geometry and how it is fastened. It can be either curved or straight in shape. True, the latter are used more often, as they are much cheaper.
The main types of beams
The I-beam is an H-shaped product. Commonly used in industry and has tapered flanges. I-section steel beams are divided into two large groups:
- with a parallel surface of the shelves;
- with sloping shelves
Additionally, such rolled products are divided into groups depending on the scope and production method.
Metal I-beam is produced by hot or cold deformation of steel slabs on special rolling mills. This method allows you to get a solid product without welds. Welding is also used. With its help, it is cheaper to produce beams, but the strength of such a product is inferior to seamless steel I-beams.
According to the field of application, I-beams are divided into:
- Normal. Such beams have parallel flange faces. They are used in the construction of civil and industrial structures, engineering structures, strengthening mine shafts.
- Columnar. They have increased strength due to the increased wall thickness and the width of the shelves. They are in demand in the construction of multi-span buildings and structures.
- Wide rimmed. In such products, the wall thickness is increased by 1.5 times compared to normal beams. They are often used to build supports for various installations and units.
- Beams with sloped faces. The slope in such a rental can be 8-12 degrees. Most often, this is necessary for more convenient fastening of sloping roof slabs.
Advantages in construction
The main advantage of a steel beam is the uniform distribution of the load along its entire length, which reduces the load on the supporting structures. In addition, the I-beam is durable, resistant to moisture, temperature extremes and fireproof.
The UTMK website presents a wide range of steel I-beams of various shapes and sizes. I-beam steel is produced in lengths of 12.05 m. You can pick up and pick up the necessary rolled products in warehouses in Kyiv, Borispol, Dnipro, Kherson, Poltava, Chernivtsi, Zaporozhye. We will also help deliver batches of rolled products from one ton to any city in Ukraine. Additional services include bending and cutting of rolled products.
