ASTM A992 & ASTM A572-50 Jumbo Beams
Jumbo beams are heavy structural beams that are larger than standard I-beams and typically found in large constructions and heavy infrastructure. We offer a variety of jumbo beam grades and sizes at Triple-S Steel®.
Jumbo Beam Materials and Benefits
Jumbo beam is available in the following steel grades:
A992/A572-50: ASTM A992 jumbo beam is dual-rated to A572-50 specifications for high corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio.
- 65 ksi minimum tensile strength
- 50 ksi minimum yield strength
A36: A36 jumbo beam is a low-carbon steel product with excellent weldability and machinability. Available through special order.
- 36 ksi minimum tensile strength
- 58 ksi minimum yield strength
The primary advantage of jumbo beam sections is their high load-bearing capacity, which is suitable for larger structures and long spans. Plus, the inherent strength and durability of steel can withstand harsh conditions and heavy use. Certain grades of HSLA steel jumbo beams can also be cost-effective as alloying elements create high-strength beams without the weight of other low-carbon steels.
Heavy Structural Beam Applications
Heavy structural beams in a wide range of sizes and grades offer solutions to many different construction and engineering applications, including:
- Construction: High-rises, stadiums, arenas
- Infrastructure: Bridges, overpasses, railroad trestles
- Industrial: Warehouses, manufacturing plants, aircraft hangars
- Energy: Power plants, offshore platforms, wind turbine towers
The enhanced corrosion resistance of low-carbon steel jumbo beams is beneficial for marine applications and heavy outdoor use, while their superior strength can resist dynamic loads.
