Both H-shaped steel and I-beam are mainly used in construction. Compared with I-beam, H-beam is the most widely used steel in steel structure buildings. The use of H-beam is also very different from that of I-beam. Let’s take a look at it below. Learn about the detailed properties of H-beams.
1. Flange, the inner appearance of the flange has no slope, and the upper and lower appearances are parallel.
2. The two outer edges of the H-shaped steel have no slope on the inner side and are straight.
3. The cross-sectional characteristics of H-shaped steel are significantly better than traditional I-beam, channel steel and angle steel.
4. H-shaped steel is an economical cross-section high-efficiency profile with more optimized cross-sectional area distribution and more reasonable strength-to-weight ratio. It is named after its cross-section is similar to the English letter "H". This makes the welding and splicing of H-beams easier to operate than I-beams, has better mechanical properties per unit weight, and can save a lot of materials and construction time.
For H-shaped steel and I-beam steel, the I-beam section can withstand direct pressure well and can withstand tension, but the cross-section size cannot withstand torsion due to the narrow wing plate. H steel is the opposite, so both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
