Features of H-beam

The inner and outer sides of the H-shaped steel flange are parallel or close to parallel, and the flange ends are at right angles, hence the name Parallel Flange I-beam. The thickness of the web of the H-beam is smaller than that of the ordinary I-beam with the same height of the web, and the flange width is larger than that of the ordinary I-beam with the same height of the web, so it is also called the wide-edge I-beam. Determined by the shape, the section modulus, moment of inertia and corresponding strength of H-beams are significantly better than ordinary I-beams of the same single weight. Used in metal structures with different requirements, whether it bears bending moment, pressure load, or eccentric load, it shows its superior performance. Compared with ordinary I-beam, it can greatly improve the load-bearing capacity and save metal by 10%-40%. H-shaped steel has wide flanges, thin webs, multiple specifications, and flexible use. It can save 15% to 20% of metal when used in various truss structures. Because the flanges are parallel inside and outside, and the edges are at right angles, it is easy to assemble and combine into various components, which can save about 25% of the welding and riveting workload, which can greatly accelerate the construction speed of the project and shorten the construction period.
