The vertical central web plate in an I-beam that connects the flanges and provides shear resistance.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Web Height | Varies by beam size (typically 4-36 inches) | |
| Web Thickness | 0.25-1.25 inches | |
| Shear Capacity | Calculated based on web area and material properties | |
| Yield Strength | 36,000-50,000 psi |

The web primarily resists shear forces and connects the top and bottom flanges, transferring loads between them while preventing buckling through its vertical plate structure.
Web thickness is determined by required shear capacity, buckling resistance, and connection requirements, following AISC specifications and considering load factors, beam span, and material properties.
