Types of structural steel : Various types of structural steel sections and their technical
specifications are as follows:
Beams.
Channels.
Angles.
Flats
Steel Beams : Steel Beams is considered to be a structural element which mainly carries load in
flexure meaning bending. Usually beams carry vertical gravitational force but are also capable of
carrying horizontal loads generally in the case of an earthquake.
The mechanism of carrying load in a beam is very unique, like; the load carried by a beam is
transferred to walls, columns or girders which in turn transfer the force to the adjacent structural
compression members. The joists rest on the beam in light frame constructions.
Steel channels : Steel channels are used ideally as supports and guide rails. These are roll-formed
products. The main metal used for making channels is steel along with aluminum. There are
certain variations that are available in the channels category, the categorization is mainly on the
shape of the channel, the varieties are mentioned below:
J channels: This kind of channel has two legs and a web. One leg is longer. This channel
resembles the letter-J.
Hat channels: This channel has legs that are folded in the outward direction resembling an old
fashioned man's hat.
U channels: This most common and basic channel variety. It has a base known as a web and two
equal length legs.
C channels: In this channel the legs are folded back in the channel and resemble the letter-C. C
channels are known as rests.
Hemmed channels: In this kind of channel the top of the leg is folded hence forming double
thickness.
Application : Steel channels are subjected to a wide array of applications. The application fields
are:
Construction.
Appliances.
Transportation.
