Wide Flange Beams Fabrication in San Jose CA

It is called a wide flange beam due to the shape of the beam. The parts that the wide-flange beam has are known as flanges, which are wider than the I-beams, that is why its name of wide-flange beam is the difference. The wide flange beam is also known as the H beam, this can be seen when viewed in cross section.

The wide flange beams are generally used in construction in San Jose CA and in most of all the places, since they have the sufficient strength to withstand a great amount of pressure, providing the necessary structural stability to support the entire structure.

The thickness of the wide flange beam will depend on the type of project to be carried out. It is very important to consider the weight, tension and the applied force. Generally, projects that require less pressure are due to the fact that the weight it will support will be minimal, while wide-flange beams that require greater strength under greater pressure are used to support structures that support massive amounts of weight.
