H Beam weight calculation formula

  • W = cross-sectional area × density × length
  • Cross-sectional area = 2 × (flange width × flange thickness) + (web height × web thickness)
  • W represents weight in kg.
  • Density is 0.00785.
  • Flange width, flange thickness, web height, web thickness are in mm.

Comparison ItemsH-beamI-beam
Appearance shapeThe cross section is in the shape of the letter “H”, the inner and outer surfaces of the flange are straight, with no slope or very small slope, the flange is wide and the thickness is uniformThe cross section is in the shape of the letter “I”, the inner surfaces of the upper and lower flanges have a slope, generally 1:6, the outer flange is thin and the inner flange is thick
ClassificationAccording to the size, it is divided into large, medium and small sizes, as well as wide flange, medium flange and narrow flange.Divided into three categories: ordinary, wide flange and light, or hot-rolled and light
Production processThere are rolled sections and combined sections consisting of three plates welded together. When rolling, a set of vertical rollers must be added to perform rolling at the same time. The production process is relatively complicated.All are rolled sections, and the production process is relatively simple
Mechanical propertiesThe bending resistance is significantly better than that of I-beams, and it can withstand forces in two directions. It is suitable for bearing bidirectional bending. Under the same cross-sectional load, the structural weight is 15%-20% lighter than traditional steel structures.It has a certain bending resistance, but the flange is narrow, the torsion resistance is relatively poor, and it can only withstand forces in one direction, and is more suitable for unidirectional bending
Construction convenienceThe straight flange and right-angle design make welding and splicing easy, saving construction time and labor costsEasy to cut and weld, but bolt connections require special treatment and are relatively complex
Application fieldIt is widely used in industrial building structures, civil building structures, underground construction projects, highway baffle brackets, bridges, ships, lifting and transportation machinery, etc. It is particularly suitable for large-span, heavy-load and complex engineering projects.Materials used in building structure supports, beams, columns, trusses, roofs, etc., as well as bridge supports, suspensions, beams and foundations
CostGenerally speaking, the cost of H-beams of the same specifications and materials is relatively high.Relatively low cost
