Iron and Steel T-beam suppliers in Mumbai, India

A T-beam (Tee shaped beams) used primarily in construction Industry, is a load-bearing structure often used to reinforce concrete, wood or metal. It has a T-shaped cross section. The top of the T-shaped cross section serves as a flange or compression member in resisting compressive stresses.

The web of the beam below the compression flange provides resistance to shear stress and provides greater separation for the coupled forces of bending. The interacting flange and web produce the cross section having the typical T-shape.

The T-beam has a big disadvantage compared to an I-beam because it has no bottom flange with which to deal with tensile forces. One way to make a T-beam more efficient structurally is to use an inverted T-beam with a floor slab or bridge-deck joining the tops of the beams. Done properly, the slab acts as the compression flange.

Just like H-Beams, based on their flanges, I-Beams can be classified as:

1. Squared Beams (W cross-section)
2. Tapered Beams (S cross-section)

H beams / I beams and other construction materials dealer in South Mumbai, India

An I-beam, also known as H-beam is a beam with an I or H-shaped cross-section. These beams are widely used in construction activities.

 

Based on their flanges, they can be:

1. Squared Beams (W cross-section)
2. Tapered Beams (S cross-section)

In India, I-beams are designated as:

• ISMB - Indian Standard Medium Weight Beam,
• ISJB : Indian Standard Junior Beams,
• ISLB : Indian Standard Light Weight Beams,
• ISWB : Indian Standard Wide Flange Beams.

Pros:

The I-shaped section is a very efficient form for carrying both bending loads and shear loads. The center piece resists shear forces while the flanges resist most of the bending moment experienced by the beam.

Cons:

The cross-section has a reduced capacity in the transverse direction, and is also inefficient in carrying torsion, for which hollow structural sections are often preferred.

Beams are designated as per respective abbreviated reference followed by the depth of section such as for example ISMB 450, where 450 is the depth of section in millimeters (mm). The dimensions of these beams are classified as per 'Burea of Indian Standards'.

We deal in I Beams of following standard sizes:

• ISMB 80,
• ISMB 100,
• ISMB 120,
• ISMB 140
