Aluminum Support Beam

               In structural engineering, beam analysis is critical to building safety. There are many different types of beam designs to choose from. Even the most experienced engineers are sometimes difficult to determine the best beam for each building structure. Beam selection must provide the most structural integrity possible. Different shapes, sizes, techniques and materials support different structural loads. I-beams, trusses, cantilevers and hips are some of the most common types of beam designs.

              Aluminum Beam, also known as Structural Aluminum I Beam, is an extruded aluminum product with an inner radius angle for all structural applications requiring greater strength. 6061 aluminum beams are widely used in all types of manufacturing projects where lightweight and corrosion resistance is a problem - frame work, rails, overhead supports, trolleys, brackets, trailers, truck beds and more. What is the beam and its type of support?

A beam is a structural member (usually horizontal) that is primarily subject to bending (bending) and shear forces. The beam also helps to transfer the load from the slab to the building column. The support conditions of the beam can be fixed, hinged or roller supported. Fixed supports will be affected by horizontal reactions, vertical reactions and transients.
