Steel Beams

Steel Beam Sizes


Steel Beams with an I- or H-shaped cross-section are known as H Section Sleeper Supports, I-beams and H-beams. Beams are characterized by their profile (the shape of their cross-section), their length, and their material. In contemporary construction, beams are typically made of steel, reinforced concrete, wood, composites, or cased fluids (inflatable beams). One of the most common types of steel beam is the I-beam or wide-flange beam (also known as a "universal beam" or, for stouter sections, a "universal column"). This is commonly used in steel-frame buildings and bridges. Below is a selection of the most common steel beams and channels in use.

All measurements are in millimeters.
