H-Beams are steel beams made of rolled steel in the shape of the alphabet “H.” They are fabricated as built-up units. The flanges are welded to the web to form the H-section. H-beams are also called wide flange beams. H-beams have greater web thickness compared to I-beams.
This increased thickness gives strength to H-beams.
H-beams, compared to I-beams, provide better mechanical properties.
Hence H Beam is considered as an economical option for construction.
Generally, I-beams are used as beams, and H-beams are used as load-bearing columns.
