Components of Structural Steel

Common steel types and fabrications used in structural steel constructions

Overview

Structural steel is made up of a variety of components that work together to provide strength, stability and support to a structure.

Beams

Structural steel beams are the main horizontal support members in a steel structure. They can be made in a variety of shapes, such as I-beams, H-beams, and wide flange beams, to suit different load-bearing requirements.

Columns

Columns are the main vertical support members in a steel structure. They can be made in a variety of shapes, such as square, rectangular, or circular, to suit different load-bearing requirements.

Girders

Girders are large beams that are used to span long distances, such as in bridges or large industrial buildings.

Trusses

Trusses are triangular structures that are used to span long distances, such as in bridges or large industrial buildings. They are made up of smaller members that are connected in a triangular pattern to provide support.

Plates

Plates are used to connect the different components of a steel structure together. They can be made up of base plates, which are used to connect columns to a concrete foundation, or end plates, which are used to connect beams to columns.

Bracing

Bracing is used to provide additional support and stability to a steel structure. It can be made up of diagonal members, such as X-bracing or K-bracing, or horizontal members, such as cross-bracing.

Connections

Connections are used to connect the different components of a steel structure together. They can be made up of bolts, welds, or other types of fasteners.

Angles

Angles are used to provide additional support and stability to a steel structure. They can be used to connect beams to columns or to connect the different components of a bracing system.

Flat Bars

Flat Bars are used to provide additional support and stability to a steel structure. They can be used as a tension member, a compression member or as a plate in a connection.

Tubes

Tubes are used to provide additional support and stability to a steel structure. They can be used as a column, a beam or a truss member.

Fasteners

Fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and rivets are used to connect the different components of a steel structure together.

Accessories

Accessories such as lintels, cleats, and brackets are used to connect the different components of a steel structure together.
