Steel beams: types, uses and benefits 

Steel beams are a material with very outstanding properties such as their structural resistance, that is, for projects they can be used both horizontally and vertically.

Types of Steel Beams

We can find a wide variety of beams that are divided by their weight; there are light, super light, medium, jumbo beams, among others.

Another variation that we can find is in its manufacturing standard, which can be manufactured under the ASTM A36, A572 GR50, A992 specification, for compliance with quality standards.

We also find a wide variety of lengths and measurements, which will give a broad overview of choosing the most appropriate one for the project.

This material is essential in the construction and structural industries since it allows it to be used in a large number of projects thanks to its multiple properties.

Where can we use Steel Beams?

• Construction of buildings, industrial warehouses, warehouses, parking lots and warehouses.

• Preparation of floors in different constructions.

• Structures for the production of mezzanines and platforms in different industries.

• Support systems for the construction of walls.

• Construction of both pedestrian and vehicular bridges.

• Structures in trailers.

• Preparation of maritime platforms.

• Cranes.

Benefits of Steel Beams

• Strength: They are a material with great strength capacity to support large weight loads.

• Resistance: Compared to other materials such as wood and concrete, steel beams provide great resistance capacity to your projects.

• Saving capacity: they are a material that can be 100% recycled without affecting its properties, which will represent cost savings.

• Safety: It is considered an ideal material for construction as it can provide security to your projects, it can resist earthquakes, tremors, winds, among others.

• Design: They can be used in modern and old projects since thanks to their shape they adapt to a large number of projects.

• Adaptable: They can be combined with other construction materials such as losacero, corrugated sheets, mount, ptr, u channel, ips beam, to name just a few.

• Durability: They are a material that, being made of steel, provides durability and a long life to the projects where they are used.

• Suitable lengths: They can be cut, joined, welded and adapted to the size of your projects without affecting their functions or their different properties.

• Ductility: thanks to this property, beams are a material that does not crack, become damaged, get hit or break when they become deformed by supporting heavy loads.

• Low maintenance: These are materials that require little maintenance, which can also result in cost savings in the long term.

• Ease of installation: compared to materials such as concrete, they are easier and quicker to install.

Today steel beams are considered one of the most ideal materials for carrying out projects.
