The beam is a steel product obtained through the hot rolling process that has a certain cross-section (the middle part is called the die and the two parallel edges are the wing). Beams are the most important building profiles used in structures. The beam is one of the essential elements in construction and as you know its main task is to withstand stresses and bending stresses. IPB beams are available in two types of lightweight and heavy wings. The best rolled profile for the column is the IPB beam or square cans because it performs better than other sections, and in most cases, the beams can be easily attached to them.
Advantages of using beams:
- After the construction is completed, it is possible to develop.
- It is possible to connect several pieces to each other.
- Parts that are pre-manufactured in factories.
- Run and install high speed beams.
- High application at high altitude.
Disadvantages of using beams:
- High temperature attenuation: As temperatures rise, the resistance of metal buildings decreases. If the temperature of the metal skeleton rises from 0 ° C to 6 ° C, the equilibrium of the building is likely to be compromised.
- Corrosion of Metals against External Factors: Metal parts used in buildings react to atmospheric conditions which reduce the size of metal parts, thus increasing the cost of protection and maintenance of the building.
- Bending of metal parts to bending: Bending of metal parts to bending is considered as a weak point for these products.
- Improper attachment of parts: Metal parts are usually bonded to each other with rivets and screws. But in our country, welding fittings often occur, due to the lack of skill of the welders and the lack of control by the supervising engineers.
