Steel beams HEA, HEB, HEM

HEA, HEB and HEM steel girders are steel girders with wide flanges, which are mainly used for high load capacities.

More about steel beams HEA, HEB, HEM

The so-called wide flange beams are divided into the following profiles:

  • HEA (HEA)
  • HEB (wide flange beams, standard version)
  • HEM (wide flange beams, heavy version)
  • HD (wide flange column profiles)
  • HL (beams with particularly wide flanges and large heights)
Planning notes
For

high load capacities (e.g. beams, columns), wide flange beams are used. The flanges of these profiles have rounded inner corners and parallel inner surfaces. The buckling stability is high due to the wide flanges. They are therefore suitable for absorbing shear forces. The cross-section is square.
