What is the difference between the applications of HEA500 beam steel and HEB500 h steel?
HEA500 h profile steel application areas
Bridge engineering : small and medium span bridge main beams or pier supports .
Building structure : secondary beams of high-rise buildings, light industrial plant frames .
Machinery manufacturing: non-heavy-load equipment brackets or welding frames.
Application areas of HEB500 h beam iron
Heavy-load structures: main beams of large factory buildings, main span supports of large-span bridges.
Marine engineering: main structures of offshore platforms, heavy machinery bases.
Special scenarios: buildings in earthquake-prone areas or industrial equipment that requires high shear resistance.
| Comparison Dimensions | HEA500 | HEB500 |
|---|---|---|
| Sectional properties | Narrow flange, lightweight | Wide flange, high moment of inertia |
| Core Advantages | Economical, suitable for light load | High strength, shear resistance and outstanding stability |
| Typical scenarios | Small and medium span bridges, light buildings | Heavy-loaded factories, long-span bridges, earthquake-resistant buildings |
