I-beam: size table, weight and technical characteristics of profiles


I-beam: table of dimensions, weight and technical characteristics - this is the data that will definitely be useful in the construction of civil and industrial facilities. I-beams are quite varied in their design. This article provides information about the advantages of profiles made of different materials, their sizes and modifications.

The specific shape of the I-beam increases the strength and rigidity of the product, and also allows it to withstand increased loads

Features of the I-profile design

An I-beam is a standard beam with a cross-section shaped like the letter “H”. Modern construction of bridge structures, floors, multi-story buildings or hydraulic structures is impossible without the use of this type of profile. It is also widely used in mechanical engineering.

Since I-beams are a building material that is used in critical structures, their production is carried out strictly in accordance with state standards

An I-beam profile is a type of rolled metal product made from high-quality profile steel. As a rule, structural steel without or with low alloying additives is used in the production of products.

I-beams have different weights and dimensional characteristics. To classify profiles, appropriate numbering and markings are used. This facilitates the process of selecting materials, taking into account the characteristics of the facility under construction and the expected loads on the structure.

It is difficult to underestimate the benefits of using I-profiles. These products, used in various fields, are resistant to high loads and impervious to external influences. They are durable, reliable, and affordable. The pricing policy of the products is also pleasing. The cost of the structures, compared to analogues, is modest, which is undoubtedly a plus.

When buying I-beams, you should definitely pay attention to their number; you can use it to find out the profile height

Wooden I-beams, the sizes of which are also varied, are widely used in frame house construction. The use of profiles from this material allows you to reduce costs when laying the foundation, speed up the construction time of the structure, and also significantly reduce the overall weight of the building. The use of I-beams made of wood eliminates future problems associated with shrinkage, shifts, and shrinkage of the structure. A self-made wooden I-beam allows you to avoid the creaking of the finished structure, unsteadiness and vibrations inherent in ordinary frame buildings.

Important! Carbon steel beams are designed for indoor use where exposure to adverse weather conditions is excluded. For outdoor work or with increased requirements for structural strength, beams made of low-alloy steel should be used.

What is an “I-beam”?

For many companies today, the priority is to build reliable and inexpensive houses, and in a relatively short time. And these problems are solved to a greater extent by the building materials used.

Until recently, the I-beam in Russia was used only in the industrial sector, but today it is becoming more and more popular. The emergence of new types of I-beams in recent years has made it possible to successfully use them in the construction of ordinary residential buildings.

In construction, an “I-beam” is a wooden or metal profile that has a cross-section similar to the letter “H”. The term itself comes from “taurus,” which means “bull horns.”

The assortment of I-beams on the domestic market is still small, because the product itself is still little known and few manufacturers represent it. But abroad, quite interesting types of it are used, where engineering thought and the laws of physics are combined.

Features of manufacturing I-profiles

I-beam profiles are produced in accordance with approved regulatory documents. GOST 26020-83 defines the issues associated with the production of profiles with parallel edges. Aspects of manufacturing profiles for specialized purposes are regulated by GOST 19425-74. Features of making profiles with inclined edges are indicated in GOST 8239-89.

The production of an I-beam is carried out by welding three main elements, resulting in belt seams

Making an I-beam from metal with your own hands is almost impossible. The production process is carried out on specialized equipment using the hot rolling method. The blanks for the product are blooms, which are processed at a temperature of about 1200 ℃. The specific profile shape increases the strength and rigidity of the product, and also allows it to withstand increased loads and distribute it evenly over the entire surface of the structure.

There is another method for producing I-profiles - welding, when three profile elements are connected by welding. This process is fully automated. Welded I-beams have a smaller cross-section compared to monolithic beams. Also here you can combine different grades of steel, strengthening only the “necessary” areas, which, in turn, allows you to reduce the overall cost of the profile.

I-beam 10: dimensions, characteristics, scope of application

I-beam profile No. 10 is the smallest representative of these structures. Despite the small weight, the product is quite rigid. This profile is characterized by increased resistance to loads, high reliability and stability of geometric characteristics during operation.

I-beam profile No. 10, being light in weight, is quite resistant to shock and weight loads

I-beam 10 is used as a strong ceiling for frames in the construction of low-rise structures, strengthening structures or for erecting supports, and the product is also used in the design of vertical columns. The parameters of this profile are small. The total height of the I-beam is 100 mm. The width of the profile reaches 55 mm. The wall has a thickness of 4.5 mm, and the shelf is 7.2 mm. A meter of I-profile in this modification weighs 10 9.46 kg. The tenth I-beam can be made from 4 m to 12 m in length.

According to the position of the edges, inclined and parallel I-beams are distinguished. They are marked accordingly, where “U” is a profile with sloped edges and “P” is a beam in which the edges are parallel.

Steel I-beams for powerful buildings

Today, space-planning solutions can be so complex that it is impossible to do without load-bearing steel beams, because with spans of 7 meters or more, no concrete structures are effective.

Unlike a wooden one, a metal I-beam spans spans with a significant load, does not burn and is resistant to biological influences (mold, bugs). True, in the event of a fire, over time it can lose its load-bearing capacity, as well as corrode in the absence of protection. In addition, the metal I-beam is heavy and cannot be installed without special equipment.

But steel beams are not used for the construction of attic floors of houses, the foundations of which have a maximum load. Also, such beams will be quite heavy for walls made of porous, cellular materials and profiled timber, which shrinks over time.

Types of steel for making beams

I-beams today are made from rolled steel, aluminum alloys and cast steel. In this case, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, with only small impurities and alloying additives. The most popular in this regard is low-carbon.

The steel itself may also differ in the production method, for example, into calm, boiling and semi-calm. And, depending on the properties of steel, it is made into regular steel and with increased or high strength.

Thus, low-carbon steels are steels of medium strength, and low-alloy steels already have increased strength. The strongest is medium alloyed.

Welded and rolled I-beams: what is the difference?

According to the type of section, steel beams can be rolled or composite, connected by welding. Hot rolling of beams is carried out on rolling machines - special installations with rotating rollers. To do this, take a thick ingot, which is moved along a roller table and the beam takes the shape of an I-beam.

During the rolling process, the ingots are moved along a roller conveyor and processed by a series of rolls, as a result of which the length of the workpieces increases greatly, and the cross-section gradually decreases and takes on the shape of an I-beam. This is a fairly productive method, but due to the use of complex equipment, it is not cheap.

But welded I-beams are produced on automated lines. To do this, blanks are cut, I-beam profiles are assembled and they are submerged. After this, the profiles will be further processed by rolling to achieve the ideal geometry of the shelves.

Next, the surface of the profile is cleaned and a protective coating is applied. Only with the help of welded technology is it possible to produce beams with the most accurate dimensions, thin-walled and multi-flange I-beams.

Welded beams are lighter, up to 30% lighter than hot-rolled ones, and are good because they allow you to use different types of steel in one structure. For example, there is one for shelves and another for walls.

Thus, the most stressed areas in it are made of high-strength steel, and the less stressed areas are made of low-carbon steel. This approach reduces the cost of the beam by 5%.

The beams themselves, in which several different grades of steel are used simultaneously, are called bistal. It’s simple: the walls in the beam are least loaded, and the chords are the most loaded. In the belts, steel of higher strength is used, and this is 14G2, 10G2S1.

By the way, the use of bistal I-beams is most appropriate for static loads. And compared to beams made of single steel, these will cost 5-15% less.

In itself, rolling such profiles is more productive than welding, but welded beams are easier to produce with the required parameters. For example, only the welding method can make beams 4 meters or more high.

Design features of steel I-beams

A metal I-beam is often made of different sections. For what? The fact is that the beam itself experiences different stresses along its length during its operation, and in some places it is significantly lower than the permissible one.

In addition, for different tasks, a certain bending of the beam walls is allowed. Which, by the way, cannot be done with a wooden I-beam. The curvature of the beam walls is calculated using the following formula:

Another popular method is to concentrate the metal in the ribs and reduce the wall thickness (this technique provides savings of 10-20%).

It turns out that in such places you have to use more metal than necessary, and this is already an overrun. Therefore, profiles with a variable cross-section are sometimes made in order to save money, although most beams have a profile that is constant along its entire length.

Series and numbers of steel I-beams

Metal I-beams have different purposes, and therefore their characteristics may differ. Thus, beams with parallel flanges are marked as follows:

  • Sh ” are I-beams with wide flanges that can withstand significant loads.
  • " U " - beams with narrow flanges for residential construction.
  • D ” - I-beams with middle flanges.
  • K ” - beams, specially produced for the construction of columns, are quite heavy and durable.

Based on the angle of inclination, beams are divided into the following types:

  • M ” is a beam with inclined shelves for the construction of suspended tracks. Here the angle of inclination does not exceed 12%. At the same time, 12% and 16% are the maximum for the internal corner.
  • C ” is an I-beam for strengthening mine shafts, with an angle of inclination of the edges of up to 16%.

According to the degree of accuracy, I-beams are classified as follows:

  • B ” is a beam of normal manufacturing precision. Suitable for most construction tasks.
  • B ” are high-precision products, specially designed for complex tasks where the smallest errors matter.

According to the shape of the shelves, metal I-beams are made in two types - with a slope of the internal edges of the shelves or with parallel ones:

And here are additional series of such beams:

There are also such subspecies:

Steel beams for building a house should be selected by a professional who has accurate calculations of the permissible load on the foundation and the construction project itself.

There is also a separate type of I-beam that combines wood and metal. This, by the way, has been used in Europe since 1970.

I-beam 12: profile dimensions and weight, markings

This type of profile is manufactured in accordance with the provisions of GOST 8239-89. It is presented in several variations. The marking determines the features of the product. Thus, the letter “B” denotes the edges of shelves without slope on standard I-beams. The marking “Ш” indicates the parallelism of the edges of the shelves on wide-flange profiles. The letter “K” characterizes column I-beams. Narrow flange profiles are marked “U”, and medium flange beams have the index “D”.

Compared to No. 10, I-beam No. 12 is able to withstand greater load-bearing loads, deflections and compression

The total height of the size 12 profile is 120 mm. Its total width is 64 mm. The thickness of the wall of the product is 4.8 mm, and the lintel is 7.3 mm. A linear meter of such an I-beam weighs 11.54 kg.

Important! The given dimensional data is for informational purposes only, they are for reference and are formed based on the nominal size with a metal density of 7.85 g/cm³.

I-beam 14: dimensions and design features

I-beam profile No. 14 is manufactured in accordance with the provisions prescribed in GOST 8239-89. It is recommended for use in the construction of load-bearing structures in industrial and residential buildings, in the construction of bridges, as well as in the mechanical engineering industries. The material demonstrates high resistance to adverse environmental influences, fire resistance, and is also not afraid of various types of microorganisms. With the help of such structures it is possible to achieve a reduction in installation costs and a reduction in construction time.

The total height of this profile (including the thickness of the shelves) is 140 mm. The beam has a width of 73 mm, the lintel wall is 4.9 mm. The total thickness of the shelf reaches 7.5 mm. The weight of a meter I-beam is 13.68 kg.

I-beam 14, the dimensions of which are ideal for use in the construction of floors, is used in the creation of reinforced concrete structures with moderate and slightly increased loads

There are different types of I-beam of this type. I-beam table No. 14 clearly demonstrates this:

14B2731406,94,712,9

Types of rental:

  • Normal - 30B1 and 30B2. Beam 30B2 has a more massive cross-section compared to beam B1 and can withstand greater loads.
  • Wide flange - 30Ш1, 30Ш2, 30Ш3. Manufactured with increased width of shelves, used for creating columns and supports, for mounting guides. The higher the digital profile index, the more massive it is.
  • Column - 30K1, 30K2, 30K3. In the cross section of these metal products, the height of the wall is equal (approximately or exactly) to the width of the shelf. The largest mass of 1 m in this series is the I-beam 30K3. Column series products are used for constructing columns and vertically positioned supports in the construction of multi-storey residential buildings and industrial facilities.

The regulatory document STO ASChM 20-93 was developed by the Association for Standardization of Products Manufactured at Ferrous Metallurgy Enterprises. It regulates the same types of I-beam number 30 as GOST 26020-83: normal, wide-flange, column. However, the section sizes vary slightly.

I-beam size 16, modifications and scope of application

The production of I-beams of this size is regulated by state standards. The scope of its application is quite wide: industrial and residential facilities, pavilions, columns, storage facilities, bridges, etc.

I-beam profiles No. 16 come in several types. It is technically possible to produce beams where the edges of the shelves are parallel, profiles with an inclination of the inner edge from 6% to 12% and with an inclination from 12% to 16%. Welded profiles are also produced, where the upper and lower flanges are attached to the base. As a variation of this profile, there is a non-standard I-beam, where the width of the upper and lower shelves is different.

I-beam 16, the dimensions of which are capable of providing high rigidity, is used for the construction of structures with long-term static and design loads

I-beams with a slope of up to 12% are a reinforced modification of the profile and are suitable for general use. Profiles with a slope of 12% are marked “M”. They are intended for use when installing overhead tracks. Profiles marked with the letter “C” are characterized by an inclination of the internal shelves of 16%. They are used to strengthen or reinforce mine shafts.

I-beam 16 has a total height of 160 mm. The total width of the beam is 81 mm. The thickness of the profile wall is 5 mm. The average shelf thickness is 7.8 mm. One meter of I-beam weighs 15.89 kg according to GOST.

I-beam profile No. 18: distinctive features and weight of the I-beam

This type of profile is classified as shaped rolled products - in the category of monorail beams. I-beam 18 is considered to be universal, since it is applicable in all branches of construction. Its main advantages are rigidity, strength, and wear resistance.

Like previous types of beams, I-beam No. 18 is manufactured in accordance with state standard 8239-89. This product is made in an H-shape and is available in two versions. There are I-beams of standard and increased accuracy. The standard precision profile has a height of 180 mm, a width of 90 mm, a wall thickness of 5.1 mm and an average lintel thickness of 8.1 mm. The weight of 18 I-beams in a meter beam is 18.35 kg. The high-precision beam is characterized by its distinctive features. The marking contains the letter “A”. The dimensions of I-beam 18 in this version are slightly different. The total profile height is 180 mm. The total width is 100 mm. The lintel has a thickness of 5.1 mm, the thickness of the shelf is 8.3 mm. I-beam No. 18 19.92 kg weighs.

I-beam No. 18 is used when laying the foundation, creating supporting areas, and also as reinforcing elements

Helpful advice! To quickly understand the profile markings, it is enough to know the principle of the inscription: the first numbers are the height of the profile, the letters are the type of beam and the number at the end is the size of the beam in this series.

Technical parameters, size and weight of I-beam 20

I-beam No. 20 is a profile made in the same hot-rolled method as other beams of this type. It is shaped like an inverted "H". I-beam profile No. 20 is produced in accordance with the provisions of GOST 26020-83, which regulates the size and weight of I-beam 20, as well as in accordance with state standards 19425-74 and 8239-89.

The total height of the profile is 200 mm, its width is 100 mm. The profile wall has a thickness of 5.2 mm, and the lintel is 8.4 mm. The weight of 1 meter of I-beam 20 is 21.04 kg.

Alternatively, such an I-beam can be made from welded beams. It is important to note that it has a wider scope of application.

I-beam No. 20 is intended for construction and installation work, for strengthening sections of the building body

Classification of profiles and possible sizes of I-beam 20

I-beams No. 20 may differ in the location of the flange edges. There are profiles with a slope and parallel. Faces with a slope are common (with an angle of 6-12%), i.e. without additional marking, and with a special location. The second option differs in the type of marking: M and S. Marking “M” assumes the use of the product when installing complex type hanging systems. The profile marked with the letter “C” is used in the construction of structures of complex geometry or in the formation of specific structures.

An I-beam profile whose edges are parallel is marked as “B”, “K” or “W”. It was mentioned above that the marking with the letter B is a regular profile. This type includes I-beam 20b1, the dimensions of which are as follows: the total width of the beam is 100 mm and the total height of the profile is 200 mm. The thickness of the walls of this design is 5.6 mm, and its shelf is 8.5 mm. A linear meter of profile 20B1 weighs 22.4 kg.

O stands for column profile and implies use in situations where the use of reinforced concrete columns is not possible. A profile marked “Ш” may well act as an independent component in construction. So, the dimensions of the 20sh1 I-beam according to GOST are as follows: height - 193 mm, and its width is 150 mm. The wall thickness of the beam is 6 mm, the lintel is 9 mm. A meter I-beam of this type has a mass of 30.6 kg.


Beams can be fastened with bolts, rivets or welded with a welding machine

Possible dimensions and weight of I-beam - table

The dimensions of I-beam 20 in length can vary from 4 m to 12 m. The size can be measured, unmeasured, multiple of measured and measured with remainder, where the remainder is a profile with a length exceeding 3 m. The table allows you to clearly compare the dimensional characteristics of each version of the I-beam:

I-beams are profiled metal products, which have the letter “H” in cross-section. I-beams come in several types.

The index after the first two digits in the name of the beam determines the type of profiles along the width of the shelves:

Beam with a slope of the internal edges of the shelvesBeam with parallel flange edges
without a letterU - narrow-flange beam (less than the width of normal I-beams);
M - beam for overhead tracksB - normal beam;
Ш - wide-flange beam;
D - mid-flange beam - an additional series with a flange width between normal and wide-flange I-beams;
K - column beam with a flange width approximately equal to the profile height.

Column beams are used to construct vertical columns.

Conventional beams (index “B”) are used for horizontal floors.

Wide-flange beams, like regular beams, are used for horizontal floors, but are characterized by increased resistance to loads.

Bridge (monorail) beams are used to construct suspended tracks.

I-beams are made from carbon (St. 3 SP/PS) and low-alloy (St. 09G2S) steels.

The length of the beam can be in the range from 4 to 12 m.

I-beams significantly increase the resistance of structures, increase the rigidity of structures, and also improve their performance characteristics.

Types of I-beams 30 and their main characteristics

Based on the slope of the internal edges of the shelves, I-beams are divided into 2 groups: with a slope of internal edges and with parallel edges.

I-beam number 30 with a slope of the internal edges of the shelves:

  • General purpose metal products are produced in accordance with GOST 8239-89. The slope of the internal faces is in the range of 6-12%. Rolled metal is in demand in the construction of multi-storey civil and industrial facilities. It is used for constructing span structures and strengthening the foundations of large buildings.
  • The special-purpose beam is manufactured in accordance with GOST 19425-74. I-beam 30M has a slope range of internal faces - 6-12%. The products are used for the installation of overhead roads. The slope in products 30C is up to 16%. The purpose of rolled metal with the letter “C” is to strengthen vertical and inclined capital mine workings.

The dimensions of the I-beam 30 with parallel flange edges are regulated by GOST 26020-83.

Profile features, dimensions and weight of I-beam 30

The production of I-profile No. 30 is regulated by the regulatory documentation mentioned above. These I-beams are produced in two modifications: a regular I-beam and an I-beam with increased accuracy (marked “A”).

It should be noted that the dimensions of I-beam 30, as well as profiles of other sizes, differ depending on the accuracy. The weight of the product also changes accordingly, which is of fundamental importance for some buildings.


Steel beam No. 30 is maximally resistant to deformation and can withstand enormous loads

A meter beam 30B1 weighs 32.9 kg. The dimensions of the 30b1 I-beam are as follows: the height of the metal beam is 296 mm, its width is 140 mm. The wall thickness is 4.8 mm, the shelf is 5.8 mm. The length of profile 30b1 ranges from 4 m to 12 m.

I-beam No. 40 is most often used in the construction of buildings in seismically active regions

Formulas for determining the required weight of an I-beam

Calculation of the mass of an I-beam profile should begin with determining the weight of a linear meter. The easiest way to find this value is in the GOST assortment reference table, but there may be inaccuracies due to the density of the metal.

To independently calculate the mass of beams, you need to take into account the areas of the flange and wall, and the density of the steel. To determine the distance between the shelves, you should use the formula: L=h-2×t. The shelf area is calculated in accordance with the mathematical expression: SP = b×t. To determine the wall area we use the formula: SC = L×S. To calculate the cross section – S = Sc + 2×Sp. The resulting cross-sectional indicator should be multiplied by the average steel density, which is 7850 kg/m3. All data must first be converted to square meters. S – profile wall thickness, h – beam height, b – flange size, t denotes the average flange thickness, L – rolled length.

Helpful advice! To simplify the calculation process and save time, you can use the I-beam calculator.

Advantages and disadvantages of I-beams

Let's list the main features of I-beams. And there are a lot of them!

Thanks to its special design, an “H”-shaped beam is in practice 7 times stronger than a standard square beam with the same cross-sectional area, and at the same time 30 times stiffer. Amazing, isn't it?

At the same time, an I-beam with an open cross-section (like an angle or a channel) has low resistance to torsion , 400 times less than a round pipe. Therefore, the load, constant and variable, must be calculated on the I-beam that will be used.

The constant assumes the weight of the material in the form of beams, insulation, floor and ceiling, and the variable assumes the weight of people and equipment on the floor. As a result of such precise calculations, the strength of the I-beam is beyond doubt.

During operation, the dimensions of I-beams remain stable and are not subject to shrinkage . The load-bearing capacity of such beams is up to 500 kg per linear meter, and one linear meter weighs only about 6.8 kg.

Thanks to all this, such beams are suitable for fairly long runs, up to 24 meters, and their installation does not require special lifting mechanisms (although with them, of course, all work goes faster).

By the way, I-beams differ favorably from trusses in that they are easy to trim if necessary , whereas this cannot be done with trusses.

The beams are quite light and convenient, they can be transported without problems:

Plus, the use of such beams affects how expensive and heavy equipment will need to be brought to the construction site, at what temperatures it is allowed to work, and how much the ceiling itself will weigh.

As for the price, we note that standard plank flooring, of course, is cheaper . But it is worth considering that the boards themselves additionally require intermediate supports, sheathing and many other additional parts. In addition, such a base periodically needs repairs, because we are talking about wood.

To summarize: I-beams are excellent as rafters, purlins and floor beams, as well as frame elements in low-rise construction.
