What is a Universal Beam?

A universal beam is a type of structural steel known for its shape: a taller web between the side flanges, with the same cross-section along its length. From either end it looks like a capital ‘I’, which is why it is also called an I-Beam.

The benefits of this shape and its robust composition are:

  • High tensile strength
  • Excellent at bearing load under direct pressure or tension in multiple directions
  • More lightweight than universal columns (H-beams)
  • Even weight distribution
  • Can prevent vibration in a building

A universal beam is always one piece of metal throughout (no welding) — rolled or milled from steel rather than joined from multiple pieces. That makes it a versatile, dependable and efficient structural application: more stable, with less need for numerous structural supports.
