I-Beam Volume, Surface Area, Height, Side Lengths and Mass Calculators

Overview:

I-Beam also known as an H-beam or W-beam (wide flange beam), is a structural steel beam with a cross-sectional shape resembling the letter "I" or "H." It consists of two parallel flanges connected by a vertical web. The design of the I-beam allows it to efficiently support loads by distributing stress across its flanges and web, making it a popular choice in construction for beams and columns. The flanges resist bending forces, while the web handles shear forces. I-beams are commonly used in building frameworks, bridges, and other structures requiring strength and stability.

Calculator for Volume of a I-Beam

Instructions:

  1. Enter all but one value in available calculator fields. refer to diagram for value definition.
  2. Choose the units you would like to use default value is meters (m).
  3. Choose how many decimal places you wish answer to round to, the default value is one.
  4. Press solve button to find remaining unknown value.
  5. To perform a new calculation or you wish to clear current values use the reset button Reset Icon to clear values and start again.
  6. The formulas used for each calculator can be viewed by expanding the 'Click to Show Formula' section below.
