Introductionis available in a variety of standard sizes. You’ll find the dimensions for those sizes in our handy tables below, grouped by structural shape. In addition, there is helpful information on the applicable standards and other basics.Structural Steel is generally referred to by its profile (for example “I-Beams”) and its size. Sizes are determined by standards which are described in the sections for each shape below.One goal of Structural Steel that goes to determining the shape is that it have high, which make them very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area. This makes them strong relative to the amount of material and weight that must be used in their construction.Common Structural Steel Shapes By William Perry of Mercury Business Development – you want to learn more about the properties of the different types of steel used in Structural Steel, check out our.

Steel I-Beam SizesI-Beams are also known as H-Beams, W-Beams (for “wide flange”), Universal Beams (UB), Rolled Steel Joists (RSJ) or Double-T. I-Beams have an I, or if you rotate it, an H-shaped cross-section. The horizontal elements of the “I” are called “flanges”, while the vertical elements are the “web.” I-Beams are one of several standard structural shapes for steel, and they are commonly used in construction and civil engineering projects.The shape of the I-Beam provides versatile strength with a minimum of weight. The web resists shear forces while the flanges resist the bending moment experienced by the beam. Thus I-Beams are very efficient for carrying bending and shear loads in the plane of the web. The weakness of the shape is that it doesn’t resist torsional forces nor does it have much capacity in the transverse direction.
If strengths in those areas are needed, hollow structural sections (HSS) are preferred.Steel I-Beams are typically produced by a rolling process that was invented in 1849 by Alphonse Halbou in France. The use of rolled I-Beams was common into the mid-20th century. Today, fabricated I-Beams, which are produced by welding together the flanges and web are also common. US StandardsIn the US, the Wide Flange (W-Beams) are the most common. These beams have flanges which are almost parallel. Relevant standards with yield strengths are:–: 50,000 – 65,000 psi (340-450 MPa)– A588: Similar to A572– A572: 42,000 – 60,000 psi (290 – 410 MPa), but 50,000 psi (340 MPa) is the most common.– A36: 36,000 psi (250 MPa)A992 has generally replaced the older A572 and A36 standards.The (AISC) publishes the Steel Construction Manual for designing structures of various shapes.
