Product Overview

H-beam is a hot-rolled steel section with wide parallel flanges, ideal for load-bearing columns and beams in buildings, bridges, industrial plants, and heavy support structures. Key advantages: high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent bending resistance, sectional stability, and easy fabrication.

Material Standard

Commonly used materials: Q235B, Q355B, A36, S235JR, S355JR, SS400
Execution standard: GB, ASTM, JIS, AISI, DIN, BS

Usage

Construction, infrastructure, industrial supports, mezzanines, and seismic frames.

Applications

• Building and structural engineering: Load-bearing beams & columns for high-rise frames; crane beams and roof trusses.
• Bridge and infrastructure: Welded H-beams for highway bridge girders and temporary supports / shoring.
• Mechanical & equipment support: Bases for heavy industrial equipment and conveyor system structures.
• Mining and energy: Mine shaft guides for vertical reinforcement and galvanized mounting structures for solar farms.
• Earth retention: Driven soldier piles for deep excavations (>5m).

Specification Range & Selection

Selection of steel H-beams requires a combination of load conditions, span length, corrosion protection requirements, construction method and cost.

• Temporary works: Q235B hot-rolled H-beam (low cost, easy installation).
• Permanent structure: Q355B or S355JR H-beam + anticorrosion treatment (e.g. painting, galvanizing).
• International projects: Standardized to ASTM/EN standards (e.g. A36, S235JR, S355JR), paying close attention to connection compatibility (welding/bolting).
