I-beam, also known as H-beam or wide flange beam, is a type of structural steel beam with an "I" shape cross-section. I-beams are widely used in construction and structural engineering due to their strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. They are characterized by their distinctive shape, which resembles the letter "I" when viewed in cross-section.

Key features of I-beams include:

Wide Flanges: I-beams have wide flanges at the top and bottom of the beam, which provide increased strength and support compared to other beam shapes. The wide flanges distribute the load evenly across the beam's cross-section, making them suitable for supporting heavy loads and resisting bending and deflection.

Parallel Flanges: The flanges of I-beams are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the web, which helps distribute the load evenly and provides stability and structural integrity.

Thin Web: I-beams have a thin vertical web connecting the flanges, which reduces the weight of the beam without sacrificing strength. The thin web helps maximize the beam's load-carrying capacity and minimizes material usage.

Versatility: I-beams are available in various sizes, lengths, and grades to suit different construction and structural engineering applications. They can be easily fabricated, cut, drilled, and welded to fit specific project requirements.
