H-Beam Vs I-Beam: What’s the Difference?
H-beam vs I-beam are the two most common types of structural steel, often compared together by designers, engineering contractors, and project owners. Although the two have similar appearances, there are significant differences in cross-sectional shape, mechanical properties, load-bearing capacity, and application scenarios. Section shape: The fundamental difference between H-beam vs I-beam The cross-sectional shape of H-beam is H-shaped, with wide and thick flanges, parallel inner and outer surfaces, and a middle web connecting the upper and lower flanges. The overall cross-section is close to a square. Due to the close width of the flange and the height of the section, H-beams exhibit excellent stability when subjected to bi-directional loads. The […]
