ISM Beams (Indian Standard Medium Beams), commonly referred to as I-beams or Universal Beams, are structural steel members designed with a characteristic "I" shape. They are widely used in construction and engineering projects due to their excellent load-bearing properties. ISM Beams are essential for providing structural support in both horizontal and vertical orientations, offering high strength while minimizing material usage.
Flanges: Two wide horizontal elements that provide stability and resistance to bending.
Web: A vertical element connecting the two flanges, providing shear strength and carrying loads across the beam's length.
