T Beams
T beams are a commonly used shape in steel frame construction. The T section is usually produced by removing one of the flanges from a standard I shaped section. For this reason steel T beam sections are usually available in the same sizes as standard I sections.
The T shaped section can be used for many of the same applications as the I section. Removing one of the flanges however significantly reduces the sections resistance to bending in one direction.
The resistance of a section to bending depends both on the quantity of material in the section but also on the distance between the material and the neutral axis of the material at the centre of the section. This is why I shaped beams are so efficient at resisting bending in one direction as most of their steel is placed as far away from the neutral axis as possible.
When one of the I section flanges is removed and the section becomes a T shaped section, all the most effective material in one direction is removed, reducing the section’s resistance to bending in that direction.
For this reason T shaped beam sections are only used where the section can only expect significant bending moments in one direction. This can include chord members in trusses and connecting beams between I sections and other main member shapes. The T shaped beam is also often used as secondary beam members such as lintels. The T shaped section is also used in place of L shaped angle sections due to their symmetry and better flexural resistance.
T shaped sections are also very often used as the primary member for built up sections including two or more different steel sections joined together to produce particular properties. The properties of built up members can be calculated using our BUILTUP.
