In structural steel construction, I beams are frequently the most important support trusses. Huge constructions, such as warehouses and large buildings, are usually typically built with I beams. Because the I beam can carry enormous loads, it can assure the structural integrity of the structure without the need for additional structural supports, which would increase the project’s cost and construction time. I beams are cost-effective since they don’t require a lot of steel and have a wide range of uses. Because of its composition, I beams are resistant to aging and are easily adaptable to structural additions and adjustments. Because of their strength, cost efficiency, and adaptability, I beams are continually in demand.

I beams are known as universal beams because they can withstand a wide range of loads when employed horizontally as the support system for heavy duty columns and may be utilized in a number of structural steel frameworks.

The composition and size of I beams are used to classify them. They are available in a range of weights, sizes, and web thicknesses (the connection points). Builders will assess the requirements of their project and select an I beam that meets those requirements, such as deflection, vibration, bend, buckling, and tension.

Because of their form, I beams are engineered to withstand bending, vibration, yielding, and reflection. I beams are typically low in weight and can span approximately 100 feet. Buyers will inform the fabricator of the dimensions required for the project when buying I beams.
