BEAM

Beam

Specification:

An iron beam is a long, solid bar primarily made from iron, designed to support heavy loads in construction by acting as a structural framework; it comes in various shapes and sizes, with the most common type being the "I-beam" due to its "I" shaped cross-section, and is often used in buildings, bridges, and industrial structures to provide strength and stability against significant weight distribution; today, most "iron beams" are actually made from steel, an alloy of iron with enhanced properties like increased tensile strength and corrosion resistance. 

Applications:

Used in building construction for floors, ceilings, and supporting walls, as well as in bridges to span large distances and withstand traffic loads. 

Shapes:

Common shapes : I-beam: The most common type, with a cross-section resembling the letter "I", featuring a web (vertical section) connecting two flanges (horizontal sections)

Common shapes : H-beam: Similar to an I-beam but with wider flanges, appearing more like an "H". 

125MM, 150MM, 175MM, 200MM, 250MM, 300 MM, 350MM, 400, 450MM, 500, 600MM

Benefits :

Advantages of Iron Beams (Steel Beams)

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio :Steel beams have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than concrete, allowing for longer spans and less material use.

Ductility : Steel can undergo significant deformation before failure, which provides warning signs and allows for better energy absorption in seismic events.

Speed of Construction : Steel beams are prefabricated, allowing for quicker assembly on-site, reducing overall construction time.

Versatility : Steel can be easily shaped and welded into various configurations, making it suitable for complex designs

Recyclability : Steel is highly recyclable, making it more environmentally friendly in terms of material life cycle.
