Teräspalkki
Teräspalkki is the Finnish term for a steel beam. Steel beams are fundamental structural components used extensively in construction, particularly in buildings and bridges. They are designed to withstand significant bending stress and shear forces, making them ideal for supporting loads over large spans. The most common types of steel beams used in construction are I-beams, also known as H-beams or W-beams, due to their characteristic cross-sectional shape. This shape provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning they can support a substantial amount of weight relative to their own mass.
The production of teräspalkki involves shaping molten steel through various processes, including rolling and extrusion, to
