W-shape beams
W-shape beams, also known as wide-flange beams, are structural steel components used in construction. They have a cross-section that resembles the letter "W," characterized by two wide parallel flanges connected by a vertical web. This design provides strength and stability, making them suitable for supporting heavy loads in buildings, bridges, and other structures. Their shape allows for efficient use of material, ensuring they can withstand bending and shear forces while minimizing weight. W-shape beams are essential in modern engineering for creating durable and safe infrastructures.
