What Is a Steel Beam?
A steel beam is a structural steel section with an I-shaped or H-shaped cross-section, primarily designed to carry applied loads and transfer forces to columns and the foundation of a building. Steel beams are manufactured in various sizes and according to different standards. Selecting the appropriate beam based on the project requirements has a direct impact on the strength, stability, and safety of the structure.
Types of Steel Beams
Steel beams are classified into several categories based on their shape and manufacturing standards:
- IPE Beams (European Standard)
- INP Beams (Chinese and Russian Standards)
- IPB or H-Beams, available in light and heavy types
- Castellated Beams (CPE), used for specific applications
The appropriate type of steel beam depends on the structural design, applied loads, and execution conditions of the project.
