What are the application features of I-beam?

      I-beams, whether of the standard or lightweight variety, have relatively high and narrow cross-sectional dimensions, resulting in significantly different moment of inertia between the two principal axes. Consequently, they can only be directly used for components that bend within the web plane or as part of latticed structural components. They are not suitable for axially compressed components or those with bending perpendicular to the web plane, which greatly limits their application scope. I-beams are primarily used in construction or other metal structures.
Standard I-beams and light I-beams differ greatly in their applications due to their relatively high and narrow cross-sectional dimensions, which lead to significant differences in the inertia moments of the two main flanges. The selection of I-beams should be based on the requirements of the design drawings.
