Q: For the same depth, the heavier section is :
  • A. ISLB
  • B. ISMB
  • C. ISHB
  • D. ISWB
Correct Answer: Option C - ISWB– Indian standard wide flange beam has high moment of inertia about y-axis as compared to other beam section. ISLB– Indian standard light beam are generally used as purlins in roof or as secondary beams where loading is less. ISMB– Indian standard medium weight beam can be used as structural element in frames, floor beam etc. with high moment of inertia about x-axis. ISHB– Indian standard heavy weight beam have thicker webs and flanges and are used as column section.
