Welded T-beam
A tee beam, also known as a T-beam, is a type of structural beam that resembles the letter “T”. The horizontal top part of the “T” is referred to as the flange and the vertical stem is called the web. The horizontal flanges resist bending, while the vertical web provides shear resistance. Because of their “T” shape, this type of steel beam is most often used to support loads over a span, allowing for efficient distribution of loads to prevent sagging or failure.
While both tee beams and wide flange beams are structural elements used in construction, they differ in their shape, as well as how they are used. They can be split from wide flange beams and the T-beam resembles the letter “T”. This design provides efficient resistance to bending forces and is often used in scenarios where longer spans are required, such as in bridges or multi-story buildings.
On the other hand, wide flange beams often resemble the capital letter, “H”. This shape beam features wider flanges at the top and bottom which are connected by a narrower web to distribute the weight better across a large area. Similar to wide-flange beams, I-beams resemble an “I” or “H” shape, but with narrower flanges.
While T-beams are best used for specific span requirements, wide flange beams are used in a broader range of scenarios where extra strength is necessary. Learn more about purchasing steel beams or our tee splitting services today.
T-beam steel can be created using a variety of methods such as hot rolling or welding. At Service Steel, we utilize a plasma track torch that’s specifically engineered for splitting the web of a wide flanged beam which results in two steel tees. Typically, these cuts are performed along the vertical web of wide flanged beams, but adjustments can be made to the cut-off center as per project requirements.
Steel T-beams find applications in various structural scenarios due to their ability to achieve specific structural shapes as well as efficiently support heavy loads over spans. The specific application of tee beams depends on the engineering requirements of the project as well as the span length, load conditions, and other unique structural considerations.
That being said, here are a few examples of the most common construction and infrastructure applications for these types of steel beams:
Steel T-beams and their unique “T” shape offer several advantages that make them a popular choice in various construction and structural applications:
