Wide flange beams, categorized as I-Beams, H-Beams, and T-Beams, are structural steel beams used primarily in building construction, featuring a wide and thick flange (the horizontal section of the beam), and a narrower and thinner web (the vertical section).
This design provides excellent load-bearing capacity and structural stability, making wide flange beams suitable for various applications, including the construction of bridges, buildings, and other large structures. They are also available in different sizes and dimensions, allowing for flexibility in design and structural requirements.

Three configurations — each suited to different structural load requirements and project types.
I-beams are shaped like the letter “I” in cross-section, with flanges tapered, having a slight incline. The flanges of an I-beam are typically narrower and thinner than the web, resulting in a lighter beam that is suitable for lighter load applications.
H-beams are the heaviest beams available, which are designed to withstand substantial weight loads. They feature parallel inner and outer flanges with widths nearly equivalent to the beam’s depth, providing increased load-bearing capacity and stability. H-beams are commonly used in heavy-duty construction projects, such as the construction of bridges, high-rise buildings, and large industrial structures.
T beams are produced by splitting I beams and wide flange beams along the middle of the web, which forms a T-shaped cross-section. This shape proves more economically viable than rectangular beams when high tensile strength isn’t the primary requirement.
Wide Flange Beams are available in multiple dimensions and weights to suit a variety of structural applications. For complete technical details, download our comprehensive size handbook.

Common Questions
I-beams, H-beams, and T-beams differ in shape and structural application:
• I-beams have a taller vertical web compared to their flanges, making them ideal for long spans where bending resistance is important.
• H-beams have wider flanges, providing greater load-bearing capacity, which makes them suitable for heavy-duty columns and structural supports.
• T-beams consist of a single flange and a vertical web, commonly used for slab reinforcement and lighter structural applications.
Yes. All three types (I-beams, H-beams, and T-beams) can be welded, cut, drilled, and fabricated according to project requirements.
Yes, it is common to use I-beams, H-beams, and T-beams together in a single structure.
• H-beams are typically used for columns and primary supports due to their high load-bearing capacity.
• I-beams are often used for floor beams where bending resistance is important.
• T-beams are commonly used for slab reinforcement or lighter structural applications.
