W14 × 34 structural steel wide-flange shape
W14x34 h section steel Model Meaning
W: stands for Wide-Flange Steel, the flange width is close to the web height, the cross section is symmetrical "H" shape, and the mechanical properties are excellent.
14: The nominal height is about 14 inches (the actual height needs to refer to the specific specifications).
34: The theoretical weight per foot length is about 34 pounds (that is, 34 lb/ft, converted to metric approx. 50.6 kg/m).
W14x34 wide parallel flange beam size specifications (based on ASTM standards)
| parameter | Numeric | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Height (h) | 13.7 inches (approx. 348 mm) | Actual size of the section in height direction |
| Flange width (bf) | 6.72 inches (approx. 170.7 mm) | Actual width of flange |
| Web thickness (tw) | 0.34 inches (about 8.6 mm) | Thickness of the web |
| Flange thickness (tf) | 0.53 inches (about 13.5 mm) | Average thickness of flange |
| Cross-sectional area (A) | 10.0 square inches (approximately 64.5 square centimeters) | Total area of the cross section |
| Center of gravity distance (Z) | The distance from the center of the flange to the center of the web needs to be calculated | Used for center of gravity location in structural analysis |
Mechanical properties of W14x34 H-beam (taking A992 material as an example)
| Performance Indicators | Numeric | illustrate |
|---|---|---|
| Yield strength (σs) | ≥345 MPa(50 ksi) | The critical stress at which the material begins to deform plastically |
| Tensile strength (σb) | ≥450 MPa(65 ksi) | The maximum tensile stress that the material can withstand |
| Elongation (δ) | ≥18% (gauge length 50mm) | A measure of a material's plastic deformation capacity |
| Elastic modulus (E) | 200 GPa (approx. 29,000 ksi) | A measure of material stiffness |
| Shear modulus (G) | 79.3 GPa (approx. 11,500 ksi) | Ability of the material to resist shear deformation |
W14x34 Wide Flange H Beam Application Scenarios
Building structures: secondary beams and purlins of small and medium-sized frame structures, such as floor supports of office buildings and commercial buildings; joists or supporting members in light steel structures, used to transfer loads to main beams or columns.
Industrial equipment: mechanical platforms, brackets or equipment bases, suitable for medium-load scenarios (such as production line brackets, storage shelf beams).
Bridge engineering: secondary beams of non-motorized lanes or pedestrian bridges, used in conjunction with heavy main beams.
Temporary structures: load-bearing members in construction scaffolding and formwork support systems.
