Welded H beams (built-up H sections) are custom-fabricated from steel plates, used where standard hot-rolled sections are too small or where non-standard depth/width is needed. Below is member GL1-1 from an actual fabrication drawing.

Plus stiffeners, end plates and connection plates bring unit weight to 778 kg.
Transverse stiffeners are welded to the web to prevent buckling under shear:
· L-15 (PL8×120): 2 pcs, end stiffeners
· L-26 (PL10×167): 4 pcs, intermediate stiffeners
· L-40 (PL10×150): 6 pcs, shear stiffeners
· LP-16 (PL8×150): 6 pcs, web stiffeners
Stiffener spacing matches load diagram — denser near supports where shear is highest.
1. Custom size — depth from 300 mm to 3,000 mm, any width; no mill size limitation
2. Higher load capacity — 1000 mm deep beam carries long-span loads that standard HN500 cannot
3. Q355B material — higher yield strength than Q235, lighter weight for same load
4. Efficient fabrication — web + two flanges, automated submerged-arc welding
5. Built-in stiffeners — tailored to shear and moment diagram, no over-design
1. Long-span warehouse & factory — 1000 mm deep beams span 12–18 m without intermediate columns
2. Building transfer truss / transfer beam — welded H beams carry column loads in high-rise transfer floors
3. Platform & equipment support — custom depth fits heavy machinery, tanks and conveyor platforms
4. Bridge girder (small span) — welded plate girders for pedestrian bridges and small vehicle bridges
5. Stadium & auditorium roof — long, deep beams support cantilevered roof structures
· Web-flange weld: full penetration submerged arc weld, UT tested per GB 50205
· All plates cut by CNC flame or plasma, then drilled for bolted connections
· Surface blast cleaned to Sa2.5, painted per project specification
