H-Beam

An H-beam, also known as a W-beam or I-beam, is a structural steel component shaped like a capital letter "H." It has a horizontal flange at the top and bottom, connected by a vertical web in the middle. This design provides high strength and stability, making H-beams ideal for supporting large structures like buildings, bridges, and towers. Their shape efficiently bears loads and resists bending, enabling construction of tall and heavy structures with reduced material use. H-beams are manufactured in various sizes to suit different engineering needs and are a fundamental element in modern steel construction.
