10% to 15% Saving of Materials by Using H-beam

H-beam steel is an economical section steel with more optimized section area distribution and more reasonable strength-to-weight ratio. Nowadays, H-beam steels have been widely used in today's steel structure construction. Compared with its competitor I-beam steel, H-beam steel profile has many advantages, among which the most significant one is its mechanical properties per unit weight. This allows construction side to cut costs and speed up building process. So how do H-beams steels do this?

To the naked eye, the H-beam and I-beam steels have a similar appearance. But the differences in flange and two outside beams give H-beam steel a great performance advantage.

On the one hand，There is no inclination in the inner surface of H-beam steel. Its upper and lower surfaces are parallel, and the inner edge has uniform thickness. Those characteristics bring better torsion resistance for H-beam steel, as well as the reasonable section shape and good mechanical property. The cross section of H-beam steel extends evenly and has small internal stress when rolling. In this regard, H-beam steel is obviously better than traditional i-steel.

On the other hand, there is no slant between the two outside beams of H-beam steel, namely, they are totally straight, and each one forms a right angle with the flange. This makes the welding of H-beam steel simpler than that of I-beam and reduces the construction quantity as well as brings the better mechanical properties per unit weight to the H-beam steel. Using less material to meet the same construction requirements becomes a reality. According to the specific data, H -beam steel can help you to save 10-15% metal materials when the required bearing capability remains consistent. 

In addition, H-beam steel factories usually have complete professional production lines, which ensure a reliable quality and convenient construction of their products. The max height of rolled H-beam that can be produced in China is 800mm. H-beam steels have to be welded if the higher height is required. The buildings which are constructed by H-beam steels have good structural stability. H-beam steels are suitable for construction of buildings that can withstand vibration and have large impact load. H-beam steel structures have strong resistance to natural disasters, and is especially suitable for construction of buildings in earthquake zone.

Just regard H-beam steels as the first choice if you want to improve the bearing capacity and stability of the building section while saving costs.
