Steel Beams And Columns

Beams concrete slabs of large areas shall be divided into parts each with an area that can be designed to be thick and economically reinforcing.

Steel beams and columns. Beams are used to tightening the columns to provide better distribution to the bending moment in the beams as well as to reduce the length of the bending of the columns. In a broader context concrete beams can be classified as t beams l beams and rectangular beams. Maximum reaction force deflection and moment single and uniform loads. Structural steel beams columns are categories of steel used as a construction material for making structural steel shapes.

Steel beams commonly termed an i beam because of its shape beams provide great load bearing support when used horizontally or standing as columns. Properties of british universal steel columns and beams. Continuous beam moment and reaction support forces. British universal columns and beams.

Erection of steel beams. Moment and reaction support forces with distributed or point loads. In steel beams there are i sections l sections u sections. I beams are commonly made of structural steel but may also be formed from aluminium or other materials.

Cantilever beams moments and deflections. Available in two configurations the most popular being the wide flange steel beam aka h beam or w beam with non tapered flanges. A common type of i beam is the rolled steel joist rsj sometimes incorrectly rendered as reinforced steel joist. British and european standards also specify universal beams ubs and universal columns ucs.

The definition of either l t or rectangular is got because of the shape of the cross sectional area. 3 8 beams supporting cavity walls 41 3 9 bracing by means of u frames 42 3 10 beams with tension flange restraint 45 3 11 beams supporting timber floors 47 3 12 beams supporting steel decking or roof sheeting 49 3 13 beams supporting concrete slabs 50 3 14 beams supporting precast concrete slabs 52 3 15 beams with continuous restraint. Beams commonly transfer loads from floors and roof to the columns. Beams in a structure is used to carry the loads from the slabs to the columns.

With over 15 000 tonnes of universal beams columns and parallel flange channels in stock we can confidently offer materials across a wide range of applications to suit any size of requirement. Steel beam members can span up to 18m but the most usual range of steel beam spans rang from 3m to 9m. Steel beams columns are proud to be part of the bianco group of companies.
