Universal Beams

Universal Beams, also known as I-beams or H-beams, are structural steel beams with a cross-sectional shape resembling the letter "I" or "H". They are widely used in construction and engineering applications due to their high load-bearing capacity and structural stability. Universal beams are designed to support heavy loads over long spans, making them ideal for building frames, bridges, and other structural frameworks. These beams are characterized by their horizontal top and bottom flanges connected by a vertical web in the center. The flanges provide excellent resistance to bending and shearing forces, while the web acts as a support to distribute the load evenly across the beam's length. Universal beams are available in various sizes and dimensions, allowing engineers and architects to select the most suitable beam for their specific design requirements. They are commonly made from structural steel materials like mild steel or high-strength low-alloy steel to ensure durability and structural integrity.
