Wide Flange and I-Beam in Philippines

What is an I-Beam? / What is Wide Flange Beam?

Both I-beam and wide flange in the Philippines are structural steel components used in the construction and engineering industries. Each type is designed with a center web, which links two horizontal planes (flanges) together, thus forming an “I” and “H” shape, respectively. Both are used to carry heavy loads, as well as for building and supporting mega structures such as bridges and structural skeletons. They are mostly made of steel, though some are crafted from aluminum.

While the two are very similar in certain aspects, such as aesthetics and purpose, the I-beam and wide flange (H-beam) have their own distinct characteristics. Their main difference is the size and the style of the flanges, with the former having narrower flanges with tapered edges. The latter, meanwhile, is heavier but more suitable for larger weight structures.

What are the advantages of I-beams and wide flanges?

Highly durable – Both beams are made from materials that possess high tensile strength and can withstand great weight volume.
Better weight distribution – I-beams and wide flanges serve as excellent supporting components to reduce the risk of collapse in wider and larger structures.
Uniformity – While customizable, both beams also come in standard sizes and thicknesses for the convenience and ease of use of clients.
Efficiency – Compared to other types of beams, I-beams and wide flanges are ideal for heavy-duty purposes.
Versatility – Demand for both beams are high due to their great functionality and adaptability.
