The height of the section is greater than the width of the section. Universal beams have higher stiffness in the vertical direction to carry the loads. In most of the structures, we can observe these steel columns connected tot he universal beams to carry the loads. Universal beams can be identified as the widely used steel section in the construction. I beam is also known as the universal beam is a hot rolled section. Let’s discussed each type of beams in Detail. Rectangular Hollow Section and Circular Hollow Section.The following types of steel beams are discussed herein. In this article, we are classifying the beams based on their geometry and the manufacturing process. Different types of steel beams used to carry the loads from the structure to the adjoining support are discussed in this article.ĭifferent classifications can be made to identify the types of steel beams.
