Profile Steel H BEAM VS I BEAM What’s the difference between them?

There are many types of steel on the market today, and H shaped steel and I beam are commonly used types in construction. So, what are the differences between H beam and I beam?

 

The difference between h beam and I beam

1. Different properties

The cross section of the I beam is an I shaped long steel, while the H beam is an economical steel with a more optimized size layout, more reasonable strength and weight, and its cross section is the same as the letter "H".

2. Different classifications

I beams are divided into three categories, ordinary, wide flange and light, while H beams are divided into large, medium and small sizes according to size.

3. Different fields of use

I beams can be used in various building structures, bridges, supports and machinery, while H beams are suitable for industrial building structures, civil building structures, underground construction projects, highway baffle supports and other fields.

4. Different characteristics

The outer and inner edges on both sides of the H shaped steel have no slope and are in a straight state. The welding and splicing operation is simpler than that of the I-beam, which can effectively save a lot of materials and shorten the construction time. The I beam section is very good at withstanding direct pressure and is resistant to tension, but its torsion resistance is poor because the wings are too narrow.

Principles for purchasing construction steel

1. First of all, the building steel we choose must ensure that the style and specifications of the construction have an appropriate position.

2. The selected construction steel has an excellent effect in terms of strength, stiffness and stability. It can bear the weight and lateral pressure of poured concrete and help meet the load of various construction requirements.

3. The structure of the selected building steel must be as simple as possible, which not only facilitates loading and unloading, but also does not affect future binding, and also ensures that there is no leakage of slurry during the pouring process.

4. It is required that the molding materials for the purchased building steel configuration should be as universal as possible, and large pieces of molding materials should be used to reduce the total quantity as much as possible and reduce the number of molding materials.

5. It is required to set up corresponding tensile bolt molding materials on the construction steel. Its main purpose is to reduce the drilling loss of the construction steel.

6. It is required that the purchased building steel can be spliced appropriately to help resist the elastic deformation of the building steel.

7. Lay out the support system of the building steel according to the load and elastic deformation capacity of the mold material.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has a better understanding of the difference between H-beam and I-beam. If you want to know more relevant information, please continue to pay attention to our website, and we will present you with more exciting content in the future.
