Universal Beams - FAQs
Below are the most common questions sent to our team about UB beams.
-
What is a universal beam?
A universal beam, also referred to as an "I-beam," is a structural steel component designed for strength and durability in construction projects. Its characteristic I-shaped cross-section features a vertical web and horizontal flanges, which provide excellent resistance under heavy loads.
Universal beams are extensively used in constructing frameworks, floor supports, and load-bearing walls for both commercial and residential projects. Their robust design makes them a reliable choice for delivering stability and structural integrity in a wide range of applications. -
What is the difference between RSJ and universal beam?
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. -
Are universal beams hot rolled?
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. -
Can a universal beam be used as a column?
Yes, a universal beam can be used as a column in construction projects, depending on the structural requirements. Its I-shaped design provides excellent vertical load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for supporting roofs, floors, and other structural elements in certain applications.
However, when using a universal beam as a column, it’s essential to consider factors like buckling, load capacity, and proper alignment. Consulting a structural engineer is imperative to ensure the universal beam is correctly specified and installed to meet the safety standards of your project. -
How to calculate universal beam size?
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.
