ASTM A992 Steel Beam: Professional Guide by Royal Steel Group

ASTM A992 steel beam is a good quality structural steel beam, which is a widely used in construction projects all around the North American. With excellent strength to weight ratio, durability and reliability, it is the h-beam solutions trusted by architects, engineers and contractors for many years. 

Introduction to the A992 Steel Beam

Specification for wide flange structural shapes H beam or h-shape steel beam is the common name of hot rolled products with I or H profile. They are intended to be high load bearing and low weight, which makes them well suited for multi story buildings, bridges and industrial buildings. Better weldability, ductility and resistance to brittle fracture than traditional w beam or previous carbon steel grades, ASTM A992 Steel Beam. 

Popular Sizes in the Americas

In the US, Canada, and South America, standard h beam sizes for the projects usually fall within ranges from W8×18 to W40×593 that can satisfy the light and heavy steelwork. Typical dimensions used are:

W12×26 – For medium span floor and roof framing.
W14×38 – Best for industrial and warehouse buildings.
W21×44 – Used frequently in large bridges and structural frames.

These sizes are compatible with common connection and construction methods, and will facilitate the procurement and installation process.

Benefits Compared to Other Steel Beam Grades

There are a few reasons why the ASTM A992 steel beam is considered the best among other grades:

High strength to weight ratio: Able to carry more load without increasing the weight of the structure.
Better Weldability: Modified chemical composition leads to ease in fabrication and field modification.
Improved Ductility: Decreases the probability of brittle failure under dynamic/seismic loading.
Even Quality: good mechanical properties uniformity, necessary if you do large projects.
Economical: less steel consumption as compared to traditional h beam grades such as A36 or A572.

Usual Applications

Steel Beams ASTM A992 are used in the following application:

Commercial and residential high-rise buildings
Bridges and highway overpasses
Industrial buildings and warehouses
Structural frames and systems
H beam structures for prefab, pre-engineered, Modular buildings and community buildings.

Their versatility and durability allows both to be made the best in trade for modern day construction needs where both performance and efficiency are essential.
