I-beams, also known as I-beams, have an I-shaped or H-shaped cross-section. The horizontal element of the “I” is the flange, while the vertical element is the “web”. I-beams are usually made of structural steel, but can also be made of aluminum. I-beams are most widely used in construction and can be used for beams and columns. Infra-Metals offers a wide variety of I-beams in different sizes, lengths, and gauges. A36/A572-50 standard steel I-beams are suitable for a variety of applications due to their strength, formability, and weldability. It is a dual-certified carbon hot rolled steel that meets ASTM A-36 and ASTM A572-50 requirements. Its yield strength is higher than ordinary A36, so it is often used in structural applications requiring higher strength than A36. The shape of an I-beam is ideal for resisting twisting and tilting. A36/A572-50 is used in heavy construction equipment, building structures, truck frames, and applications requiring a high strength-to-weight ratio; it can also be galvanized for better corrosion resistance. I-shaped steel is a structural steel section shaped like an H-section. It is very strong. It is named for what looks like a capital H in cross-section. The horizontal elements of the “I” are the flanges, while the vertical elements are the webs. The web resists the shear forces while the flange resists most of the bending moments experienced by the beam.
Beam theory shows that I-sections are very efficient for carrying bending and shear loads in the plane of the web. I-beams are widely used in the construction industry and are available in a variety of standard sizes. I-beams can be used as both beams and columns.
