I-beam and channel steel are commonly used structural steel materials in the construction industry, and are widely used in steel structure houses, bridges and other construction fields. In specific applications, single or multiple pieces can be overlapped according to engineering needs to improve the load-bearing capacity.

There is no official answer to "Which has better load-bearing capacity, I-beam or channel steel". However, two perspectives can be offered:

Channel steel has strong load-bearing capacity. Because channel steel is mainly used in construction and mechanical engineering, its cross-section is very complex and groove-shaped, and the construction requirements are very high; while the cross-section of I-beam is relatively narrow, and there are certain restrictions on the scope of use, and it is only suitable for The bending part in the web plane.
I-beam has strong load-bearing capacity. Because the two sides of the I-beam are symmetrical, the force is not eccentric, and the overall load-bearing capacity is strong.

In fact, the load-bearing capacity of I-beams and channel steels is closely related to their size and shape. There is a special mechanical shape coefficient in material mechanics, namely the bending section coefficient We. The larger this coefficient is, the stronger the load-bearing capacity is.

In addition, I-beam and channel steel are commonly used structural steel materials in the construction industry and are widely used in steel structure houses, bridges and other construction fields. In specific applications, single or multiple pieces can be overlapped according to engineering needs to improve the load-bearing capacity.
