Section Properties of HEB 240 Wide Flange H Beam
The section properties of an HEB 240 wide flange H beam help engineers evaluate bending stiffness, deflection and structural stability.
| Section property | Major axis | Minor axis |
|---|---|---|
| Moment of inertia | 11,260 cm⁴ | 3,923 cm⁴ |
| Elastic section modulus | 938 cm³ | 327 cm³ |
| Plastic section modulus | 1,053 cm³ | 496 cm³ |
| Radius of gyration | 10.3 cm | 6.08 cm |
These values describe the geometry of the HEB 240 section. The final load capacity must be calculated according to span, load direction, support conditions, connection design and applicable structural codes.
Mechanical Properties of S355J0 HEB 240 Beam
S355J0 is a weldable structural steel grade that requires a minimum Charpy impact energy of 27 J at 0°C. Because the flange thickness of HEB 240 is 17 mm, the yield strength should be checked using the EN 10025-2 thickness range above 16 mm and up to 40 mm.
| Mechanical property | S355J0 requirement |
|---|---|
| Minimum yield strength | 345 MPa |
| Tensile strength | 470–630 MPa |
| Minimum elongation | 22% |
| Impact energy | Minimum 27 J at 0°C |
Although S355J0 belongs to the nominal 355 MPa strength class, the standard minimum yield strength for a 17 mm flange is normally 345 MPa. The actual values should be verified using the EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
Weight of HEB 240×240×10×17 H Beam
The theoretical mass of the HEB 240×240×10×17 H beam is approximately 83.2 kg per meter.
| Length | Theoretical weight per piece |
|---|---|
| 6 m | 499.2 kg |
| 9 m | 748.8 kg |
| 12 m | 998.4 kg |
For example, 25 pieces of 12-meter HEB 240 beams have a theoretical total weight of approximately 24.96 metric tons. Actual shipment weight may differ slightly due to permitted rolling tolerances.
Applications of HEB 240 S355J0 Structural H Beam
The HEB 240 S355J0 structural H beam is frequently used as a column, main supporting beam or frame member in industrial workshops, warehouses and multi-storey steel buildings. Its 240 mm wide flanges provide a stable surface for base plates, end plates and bolted connections, while the 10 mm web transfers shear forces between the flanges.
HEB 240 is also suitable for equipment platforms, pipe-support frames, machinery bases and prefabricated structural components. S355J0 provides verified impact toughness at 0°C, making it suitable for projects that specify this testing temperature. However, the allowable load and span must be confirmed by the project engineer rather than determined from the section size alone.
Inspection of HEB 240 S355J0 H Beam
Inspection of an S355J0 HEB 240 H beam normally covers material identification, dimensional accuracy, surface condition and certificate verification.
The section height, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness, length and straightness should comply with the agreed standards. The surface should be free from cracks and serious defects that could affect fabrication or structural performance.
The EN 10204 3.1 certificate should show the steel grade, heat number, chemical composition, yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and 0°C impact test result.
For processed beams, cutting length, hole position and weld quality should also be checked against the approved drawings. Third-party inspection by SGS or BV can be arranged when specified before production.
