Question

The rolled steel I-sections are most commonly used as beams because of which of the following reasons?

A.

They provide greater lateral stability and have large moment of inertia with less cross-sectional area only.

B.

The have large moment of resistance as compared to other sections and have large moment of inertia with less cross-sectional area only.

C.

They provide greater lateral stability and have large moment of resistance as compared to other sections only.

D.

They have greater lateral stability, large moment of resistance and higher moment of inertia with less cross-sectional area.

Correct option is D


The most suitable cross-section in a beam is I Section since it offers more moment of inertia about the x-x axis with less cross-section area.
I-section in comparison to any other provides higher section modulus and thus providing better lateral stability as compare to other sections.
