Types of Beams FAQs
Which beam is commonly used?
Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) beams are the most commonly used beams in the building construction industry. These are impregnated with longitudinal tensile reinforcement for singly reinforced beam and with tensile and compressive reinforcement in the case of doubly reinforced beam.
What is the best shape of beam?
I-beam section is the most sought-after beam section due to its load-bearing capacity.
What are beams used for?
Beam is a horizontal member that supports the floor load and transfers the load to the vertical compression members called columns
What is the size of the beam?
The standard size of the beam is 225 mm × 300 mm. However, the same may vary in accordance with the design dead and live loads and the resisting bending moment. The minimum size of the RCC beam is 225mm × 225mm
What is the difference between H & I-beam?
The H beams can support heavy weight as compared to a typical I-beam. Also, H beams can resist twisting, while I-beams cannot withstand the same.
