HEA (English: European Wide Flange Beams) profiles are a type of steel profile known for their high durability, excellent rigidity, and superior strength properties. They are commonly used in the structural components of buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and ships. HEA profiles have different tonnage capacities depending on their dimensions.
HEA profiles can be easily joined using standard joining methods and can be cut without deformation. This provides cost savings in the construction industry and allows for a faster assembly process. HEA profiles can also be used in the design of complex structures made up of various materials.
Due to their superior load-carrying capacities, HEA profiles are ideal for large and heavy structures. Profile heights can range from 100 to 1000 mm, and their weight can vary between 17.2 kg/m and 280 kg/m depending on the profile size. HEA profiles are commonly used in the structural elements of tall buildings and bridges due to their high strength and rigidity.
HEA profiles are used in steel construction, the construction industry, and heavy industry. HEA profiles used in the construction of load-bearing structures are typically used in areas such as bridge, tower, building, roof, trailer, and ship construction. They can also be used in many other structures, such as steel platforms, stairs, fences, shelves, and installations. Thanks to their wide flanges, they have high load-carrying capacities and are a reliable construction material preferred in construction projects.
Applications
Construction Structures: HEA profiles are used as load-bearing elements in construction structures, particularly in the construction of large structures such as high-rise buildings, bridges, and tunnels. Their high strength improves the durability of the structures.
Industrial Structures: HEA profiles can also be used in the construction of industrial structures, particularly as load-bearing elements for various machines and equipment. They can also be used in areas such as factories and warehouses.
Bridges: HEA profiles are one of the most important steel structural elements used in the construction of bridges. Their high strength makes them an ideal material for load-bearing elements of bridges.
Vehicles: HEA profiles are also used in automotive and other vehicle manufacturing, particularly in the construction of car bodies and chassis. Their high strength improves the safety and durability of vehicles.
Cranes: HEA profiles are used in the construction of cranes, particularly as load-bearing elements for the arms used to transport heavy loads. This improves the durability of the cranes.
