Wide Flange Beams: Trends Towards Higher Steel Performance
Journal Title: Current Trends in Civil & Structural Engineering (CTCSE) - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Rolled structural shapes (L, I, H, U) were developed already in the 19th century, answering the need to simplify shapes built up from plates assembled together by rivets. The advantages in terms of weight savings, fabrication simplification, manpower time and cost reduction were integral to the acceptance of rolled shapes in every field of structural steelwork.
