Description:

Steel beams—like the h-beam, w-beam, and s-beam—support heavy loads. In fact, they make up the most common component of structural framing systems. They can be used to build bridges, warehouses and other large buildings, and can even be used in machinery or to frame truck beds. Beams can be positioned on their sides or at an angle and connect to columns via bolts, welds, and beam supports.

The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) sets the technical parameters for each structural steel shape. AISC’s definition for a beam is, “a horizontal or inclined structural member that carries a load and is supported at two or more points.” Sounds simple enough.

The first step in understanding the distinctions between different beam types is to understand what all these letters mean, and what goes into naming steel beams.
