American Standard H-Beam

The W10×100 is a widely used American Standard Wide Flange H-Beam (W-Beam) known for its excellent structural properties and versatility. Below is a detailed introduction to its features, specifications, and applications:

• Material: Typically made of ASTM A36 (carbon structural steel) or ASTM A992 (structural steel for buildings).

• Standards: Complies with ASTM A6/A6M standards for structural steel.

1. High Strength:

• Yield strength of 36 ksi and tensile strength of 58-80 ksi make it suitable for high-load structures such as bridges, high-rise buildings, and industrial facilities.

2. Wide Flange Design:

• The wide flanges provide excellent lateral stiffness and bending resistance, making it ideal for beams and columns.

3. Lightweight for Its Size:

• Despite its large dimensions, the W10×100 is relatively lightweight, reducing structural self-weight and foundation costs.

4. Ease of Fabrication and Installation:

• The parallel flange surfaces and precise dimensions simplify cutting, welding, and assembly, saving time and labor costs.

5. Excellent Seismic Performance:

• High ductility and toughness allow it to absorb energy during seismic events, making it suitable for earthquake-prone areas.

The W10×100 is widely used in:

• Building Structures: Beams, columns, and frames for high-rise buildings and industrial plants.

• Bridges: Main girders and support structures.

• Heavy Equipment: Frames and supports for machinery and vehicles.

• Infrastructure: Towers, platforms, and other structural components.

• Cost-Effective: Reduces material and construction costs due to its high strength-to-weight ratio.

• Durable: Resists corrosion and fatigue, ensuring long-term performance.

• Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of structural applications.

The W10×100 is a high-performance American Standard H-Beam designed for demanding structural applications. Its combination of strength, lightweight design, and ease of use makes it a preferred choice for engineers and architects.
