Universal Beams, or UB Beams
Â
Because of their high load-bearing capacity and resistanceto bending, universal beams, often referred to as UB beams, are horizontalstructural components that are frequently employed in construction. Since theirunique cross-sectional shape resembles the letters "I" or"H," they are occasionally referred to as I-Beams or H-Beams.
Â
Essential Elements of UB Beams:
They are robust and cost-effective due to their highstrength-to-weight 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 I-shaped cross-section.
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.
Â
The uses of universal beams include:
The main load-bearing components of roofing, ceilings, andfloors are building frameworks.
Bridges and infrastructure: Give decks and spans solidsupport.
Industrial Structures: Used in heavy-duty 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.
