Brief Description

Heavy-duty H-beam structural girder with full-depth welded web stiffener plates and pre-installed bolted angle cleats for transferring concentrated loads up to 200+ tons in industrial buildings and crane runway systems.

Detailed Description

This heavy-duty H-beam girder is engineered for primary beam applications where concentrated loads from secondary beams, crane rails, or heavy equipment must be transferred safely through the web into supporting columns. Fabricated from Q355B or Q390B high-strength steel, the girder features full-depth vertical stiffener plates welded at each load concentration point - spacing and thickness determined by structural analysis per AISC 360 Section G2 or Eurocode 3 Part 1-5, not generic rules of thumb. Each stiffener includes pre-drilled circular holes (Ø22-40mm) to allow MEP services - pipes, conduits, cable trays - to pass through the web without post-installation drilling that would damage fire protection coatings. Pre-installed bolted angle or plate cleats on the web enable secondary beams to connect without site welding, reducing erection time by up to 40%. The bottom flange is a widened base plate with perimeter bolt holes for direct column cap or foundation connection. Standard surface preparation is SA 2.5 shot blasting plus alkyd or epoxy primer (60-80μm). For critical projects, we offer shop trial assembly and optional static load testing with strain gauge instrumentation. Girder lengths range from 3m to 30m, with bolted splices for longer spans. Every girder receives dimensional inspection via laser tracker and full weld NDT (UT/MT) per AWS D1.1.

Product Attributes

Product Selling Points

Web buckling prevented: Stiffeners are positioned precisely at each concentrated load point based on structural analysis, not generic spacing - ensuring the web never buckles under design load

Service integration ready: Pre-drilled stiffener holes allow MEP services (pipes, conduits, cable trays) to pass through without post-installation drilling that could compromise the fire protection coating

Bolted cleats for fast assembly: Secondary beams connect to the girder via pre-installed bolted cleats - no site welding required, reducing erection time by up to 40%

Engineered base connection: The widened bottom flange plate with precise bolt hole pattern is designed for a specific column/foundation reaction - no guesswork, no field modifications

Load tested confidence: On critical projects, we perform shop assembly trial-fit and (optionally) static load testing with strain gauges to validate the design before shipment

Company Advantages

In-house structural analysis: We model your girder in FEA software (SAP2000/Tekla) to verify web buckling, deflection, and stiffener adequacy before fabrication begins

End-to-end quality: Every girder undergoes dimensional inspection (laser tracker), weld NDT (UT/MT), and load test witnessing on request

Seamless logistics: We have a dedicated export packaging team and relationships with major break-bulk carriers for oversized steel shipment

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do you determine stiffener spacing and thickness?

A: Our engineers calculate stiffener requirements per AISC 360 Section G2 or Eurocode 3 Part 1-5. We consider web slenderness, concentrated load magnitude, and support conditions. A stiffener design report is included with your shop drawings for approval.

Q2: What is the difference between intermediate stiffeners and bearing stiffeners?

A: Bearing stiffeners are placed at support points (columns, bearings) and are designed for the full reaction force - they are typically thicker and full-depth. Intermediate stiffeners are placed between supports under concentrated loads. We fabricate both types per your structural design.

Q3: Can you fabricate a girder with camber?

A: Yes. We can pre-camber the girder to offset dead-load deflection, typically 1/300 to 1/500 of the span. Camber is achieved through cut-curve of the web plate during fabrication and verified with a laser tracker.

Q4: How do you ensure the girder base plate is perfectly flat for bolting to the foundation?

A: After welding, all base plates are checked for flatness with a machinist's straight edge. Any deviation >1mm/m is corrected by flame straightening or (for critical surfaces) face milling. We also conduct a trial assembly with the column if both are in our scope.
