Universal Columns - FAQs

Below are the most common questions sent to our team about UC steel beams.

What is a UC steel beam?

A UC (Universal Column) steel beam is a structural steel section with a vertical web and equal flanges at the top and bottom. Known for its excellent load-bearing capacity, UC beams are primarily used as a vertical support in construction.

UC steel beams are essential in multi-storey buildings, residential and commercial structures. Their robust profile ensures reliability in supporting heavy loads while maintaining design efficiency.
Are universal columns galvanized?

Yes, universal columns can be galvanized to enhance their durability and resistance to corrosion. Galvanization involves applying a protective zinc coating, which makes the steel suitable for outdoor and high-moisture environments.

Galvanized universal columns are commonly used in construction projects exposed to the elements, such as bridges, industrial frameworks, and outdoor structures, ensuring long-term performance and protection.
What shape is a UC beam?

A UC beam has a rectangular cross-section with a wide vertical web and equal-width flanges on both the top and bottom. The UC beam's symmetrical shape provides excellent load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for use as vertical supports in construction.

UC beams are widely used in frameworks for buildings, bridges, and other structural projects due to their strength and efficiency.
What's the difference between UB and UC beams?

The key difference between UB beams and UC beams lies in their shape and application. UB beams have a narrow web and wider flanges, making them stronger for horizontal loads like floor or roof supports. UC beams are designed with a symmetrical web and flanges, ideal for vertical loads in columns.

Both are crucial for structural projects and chosen based on specific load requirements.
