Understanding Steel Sections
Different steel sections serve various structural purposes.
- I-Beams Efficient for bending and flexural loads.
- Channels Suitable for edge members and connections.
- Angles Used for bracing and connection elements.
- Hollow Sections Excellent for compression and torsion.
Design Considerations
Load Capacity
Choose sections based on structural requirements.
Cost Efficiency
Balance material weight with performance.
Fabrication
Consider ease of fabrication and connection.
Transportation
Account for handling and delivery constraints.
