Lagos, Nigeria Feb 7, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - If we will talk about the different shapes and forms on the basis of steel made then let us tell you there is a list. In this blog post, we are going to tell you a bit about the shapes and forms of steel in which steel gets produced in these modern worlds.
Steel comes in various shapes like L-beam, Z shape, HSS shape, L shape, structural channel, T shaped, rail profile, bar, rod, plate, and an open joist of web steel.
Taking into consideration the rate of marvellous constructions, there are no doubts that steel has proved favourable. With the usage of steel increasing within the construction industry, there is also no doubt that it will take over the entire construction field will be soon in the future. And we Saba Steel Industry Ltd also working on these things.
Here we take a look at the various types of steel shapes and their uses in construction.
Parallel Flange:- These channelled beams are U-shaped with right angled corners, which is similar to the shape of a staple that comes in various different sizes, and that is the reason the two sides are always the same length and are parallel to one another.
They also offer a tough strength to weight ratio and have similar use at angled sections.
Taper flange: - Taper flange beams come in an I-shaped and are also available in a vast variety of sizes. In construction, these are often used as crosssections especially for girders. Though they also have a particular resistance ratio, there is an important thing to let you know it is not usually recommended when pressure is present along the length as they are not torsion resistant.
Universal beams: - Universal beams are also widely used for structural purposes. They are similar to beams and are often referred to as I-beams or H-beams, however, all three sections are the same in length. As its name suggests that they are mainly used for columns and there is a valid reason for this that this has brilliant load-bearing capabilities.
Angled: - Angled structural steel sections can come as either equal or unequal. Both will be right angled, however, unequal sections have different sized axis’ making them L-shaped. This kind of section is much stronger which is like 20% with a much higher strength to weight ratio. Just for extra information, we would like to tell you that Angled sections are used in residential construction, infrastructure, mining, and transport.
Circular Hollow: - Circular Hollow Sections come as hollow tubular cross sections and have a much higher resistance to torsion than tapered flange beams.
The actual density of the walls is uniform within the entire circle which genuinely makes these beams great for use with multi-axis loading processes.
Rectangular hollow: - These types of structural steel are much like the circular hollow sections, however, they have rectangular cross-sections. They are very popular in many mechanical and construction steel applications. Its flat surface makes them prior for use in joining and metal fabrications as well, which we cannot ignore.
Square hollow: - like their hollow section counterparts, these are used within smaller applications such as columns or posts. To be honest, they are unsuitable for beams as their shapes are inherently difficult to bolt in another shape of steel. They are also known as box sections.
Flat hollow: - Arguably the most versatile type of steel section as they require to be attached to another section. In some cases, they can be attached to another section as a strengthening tool. They are also often referred to as ‘plates’.
