FAQs

What is a universal beam ?

A universal beam, or I-beam, is a sturdy steel component for construction, featuring an I-shaped cross-section with a vertical web and horizontal flanges for superior load resistance. Widely used in frameworks, floor supports, and load-bearing walls for commercial and residential projects, its robust design ensures stability and structural integrity across various applications.

RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) and universal beams are both structural steel components, but they have distinct differences in design and application.

The RSJ features a tapered flange design, which was more common in older construction projects and is now less frequently used. Universal beams, on the other hand, have a superior I-shaped cross-section with parallel flanges, providing greater strength and resistance to bending.

Universal beams are a popular choice in modern construction due to their enhanced load-bearing capabilities, making them ideal for frameworks, floor beams, and load-bearing walls. While RSJs may still be found in refurbishment projects or older structures, universal beams deliver higher performance and precision for both commercial and residential construction needs.

Yes, universal beams are typically manufactured using a hot rolling process. Hot rolling involves heating steel to a high temperature and shaping it through rolling mills.

This process allows the steel to be easily moulded into the precise I-beam shape, with parallel flanges and a vertical web, ensuring structural integrity and accurate dimensions.

Yes, a universal beam can serve as a column in construction, depending on structural needs, with its I-shaped design offering strong vertical load support for roofs, floors, and other elements. However, consider buckling, load capacity, and alignment, and consult a structural engineer to ensure proper specification and safe installation.

 

Calculating the size of a universal beam involves assessing several key factors, including the load requirements, span length, and the type of structure being supported. The beam must be sized to handle the expected weight while maintaining structural integrity and meeting safety standards.

Because these calculations require precise measurements and compliance of building regulations, it’s essential to consult a structural engineer.
