A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied transversely, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Beams are fundamental construction equipment in construction and engineering, providing support and transferring loads, such as the weight of structures or applied forces, horizontally across their length.
Beams play a critical role in supporting structures, from simple residential constructions to complex industrial buildings and bridges. Their design and selection are critical to ensuring a structure's overall stability and integrity. It has multiple benefits, making it the most popular construction product in hardware stores.

The I-shaped cross-section provides high load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for long-span structures.
Resistant to bending and twisting, ensuring stability under heavy loads.
Durable and reliable for use in demanding structural applications.
Used as structural support in building construction, providing the framework for large-scale structures.
Ideal for use in bridges and other large-scale infrastructure projects.
