Steel Structure Components

Steel beams are beams made of steel, commonly used as flexural members in building structures and engineering fields. They are typically made from section steel (such as I-beams, channel steel, H-beams, etc.) or can be fabricated by combining steel plates through welding, riveting, and other methods to form specific cross-sectional shapes. Steel beams come in different lengths, cross-sectional sizes, and materials, and can be customized according to specific engineering designs and load-bearing requirements to meet the needs of various buildings and structures.

Key Features

• High strength: The high-strength特性 of steel enables steel beams to withstand large bending moments and shear forces, making them suitable for large-span and heavy-load structures, ensuring structural stability and safety.
• Lightweight: Compared to reinforced concrete beams with equivalent load-bearing capacity, steel beams have a lighter self-weight, which can reduce the burden on foundations, lower construction costs, and facilitate transportation and installation.
• Fast construction speed: Steel beams can be prefabricated in factories and then transported to the site for quick assembly, significantly shortening the construction period and improving project efficiency.
• Good workability: Can be easily cut, drilled, welded, and other processing operations to meet different connection and installation requirements, adapting to various complex structural designs.
• Excellent toughness and ductility: When subjected to dynamic loads (such as earthquakes, wind vibrations, etc.), steel beams can absorb energy, exhibiting good toughness and ductility, and are not prone to sudden failure.
• Recyclable: In line with environmental protection concepts, after building demolition, steel box columns can be recycled and reprocessed, reducing resource waste and environmental impact.

Application Fields

Construction field: Widely used in roof and floor structures of large-span buildings such as industrial plants, warehouses, stadiums, and exhibition halls as main horizontal load-bearing components; also used in frame structures of high-rise buildings to enhance the overall stability of the building.
Bridge engineering: In bridge structures, steel beams can be used as main beams, cross beams, etc., to bear loads from vehicles, pedestrians, etc., and realize the spanning function of bridges.
Machinery manufacturing: Used in the manufacture of frames and supporting structures of various mechanical equipment to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
Power engineering: In power facilities such as substations and transmission line towers, steel beams can be used as supporting structures to bear the weight of electrical equipment and lines.
