UB Beams

About UB Beams

Universal Beams or UB Beams

Because of their high loadbearing capacity and resistanceto bending universal beams often referred to as UB beams are horizontalstructural components that are frequently employed in construction Since theirunique crosssectional shape resembles the letters I orH they are occasionally referred to as IBeams or HBeams

Essential Elements of UB Beams

They are robust and costeffective due to their highstrengthtoweight ratio which is optimized for optimum strength using theleast amount of material

Better resistance to bending and deflection particularly inthe vertical plane is offered by an Ishaped crosssection

Wide flanges Make it easier to bolt or weld structuralframeworks and provide for even load distribution

Versatile Design Fit for a variety of architectural andstructural uses

The uses of universal beams include

The main loadbearing components of roofing ceilings andfloors are building frameworks

Bridges and infrastructure Give decks and spans solidsupport

Industrial Structures Used in heavyduty supportframeworks sheds and warehouses

Vertically embedded retaining walls provide support againstsoil pressure

Marine and Offshore Projects Used to ensure the structuralstability of oil rigs and ships
