Ever gazed on the tall skyscrapers around your city and asked yourself how exactly they avoid burning down? That is pretty cool to think about! I think this is an example of the answer being fairly specific as well — it has to be I-beam steel, aka ‘H-beam’ with cross section shape resembling the letter ‘H’ or ‘I’.
The I-beam has been an essential component in the construction of structures. I-beams are used in some really big buildings that touch the sky, some little houses that families live in and many of the different building we see day by day would never be tall if it wasn't for I-beams.
The first is that I-beams provide significant strength. These beams possess a substantial capacity to carry heavy loads without deflecting and fracturing making them very useful in terms of safety. The I-shape helps distribute the weight through a section of the beam. This gives them a shape that enables them to carry so much weight with great strength and stability.
One more positive aspect of I-beams is that the same beam can serve multiple purposes. Bridges are vehicles also to cross over rivers and road, not just with buildings. I-beams are used in places like huge warehouses where they store stuff, and even big roller coasters that go up and down real fast, then around and twisty! Such versatility provides value in construction for I-beam.
They provide large open spaces within buildings because they do not require support columns. So you may walk into a big room and not spot any poles in the way. Gymnasiums, auditoriums and other spaces that require a large area can benefit from this feature. Plus, they can take a different form that helps architects build experimental and innovative designs that delight the eye.
Designed for durability, we make our Steel Beams from the highest quality materials you can find and they are engineered to endure a lifetime of demanding conditions. In other words, RARLON steel beams are guaranteed long-term sturdiness. In fact, we can even provide custom-fit beams for your project, ensuring each beam keeps your build running smooth, from A to Z.
Many iconic buildings — social landmarks even for some of you — would not exist without I-beams. I-beams are beings of selection in buildings such as the Empire State Building in New York, which is one of the highest buildings in the world, and distortions similar to Dubai Burj that has tallness records as the highest building while using I-beam energy as well. Kicking off the list, these stunning buildings display just how critical I-beams are to creating the skyline of our cities.
