Structural beams and joists are primary load-bearing components used in construction. They support slabs, roofs, and floors and transfer loads to columns or walls.
Common beam types include I-beams and H-beams used in:
Multi-storey buildings
Warehouses
Commercial complexes
Bridges
Industrial plants
Typical beam sizes range from 100 mm depth to over 600 mm, with weights ranging from 12 kg/m to over 120 kg/m, depending on load requirements.
Steel beams allow:
- Larger column-free spaces
- High load resistance
- Long structural life
- Faster construction timelines
