Subject: двутавры
Дорогие коллеги.

Прошу извинить за простой вопрос, очень поджимает время и некогда читать много литературы.

Двутавры - I-beam или T-beam?

(балки из прокатных двутавров)

Спасибо и сильно не ругайте.

Оба варианта вижу в словарях.

Это хорошо, что в словарях видите. А в жизни тавр и двутавр видеть не приходилось?

Тавр - T beam, двутавр H-beam.

Зайдите на ближайшую стройку, полюбуйтесь.

I-beam -- because of its cross-section shape. Think of a Western capital letter 'I' (with serifs), as opposed to a capital letter 'T'.

I-beams have a flange at the top and bottom (дву......); T-beams have a flange at the top (or bottom) only. Look up "двутавры" in Google Images, then "I-beams" and finally "T-beams", and you'll see the difference. Some people call 'I-beams' 'H-beams' -- possibly because, when a capital letter 'I' is printed in a non-serif typeface, the serifs (='flanges') at the top and bottom of the letter don't appear.

I-beams и H-beams — не одно и то же. H-beams — это двутавр с широкой полкой, или широкополочный двутавр.

Благодарю сердечно, да по рисунку понятнее, чем по описанию.

AsIs: OK, so you're saying that the flanges on an I-beam taper slightly towards the edges, whereas the flanges on an H-beam don't taper and are the same thickness throughout. That's fair enough -- but I've just checked in Wikipedia and elsewhere online, inc several US steel companies' websites (eg https://tampasteel.com/difference-between-h-beam-i-beam ) and they define an H-beam and I-beam as follows:

" H-beam: H-beams have top and bottom flanges that stick out further from the web [=the vertical part of the beam] than the flanges on I-beams."

" I-beam: I-beams have top and bottom flanges, but they are shorter and are not as wide as on H-beams."

These and other definitions I've seen don't refer to whether the flanges taper or not; they simply refer to their width. I'm not a native Russian-speaker, but could it be that, whether the flanges are wide or narrow, and whether they taper towards the edges or not, a двутавр could refer to either an I-beam or an H-beam? If so, to avoid complicating matters and to save adelaida time, I suggest that she translates двутавры as "I- or H-beams" -- to cover both types.

One thing we can probably agree on, though, is that a двутавр isn't a T-beam. Agreed?

AsIs: Correction: I've just re-read the Tampa Steel page and you're right that I-beams also usually have tapered flanges -- but as I don't know whether двутавр is specific enough to refer to how wide the flanges on them are, or whether the flanges are tapered or not, I still suggest "I- or H-beams" to cover all types.

RE: so you're saying that the flanges on an I-beam taper slightly towards the edges No, I am not.

The main difference between them is that " I-beam has tapered edges where an H-beam does not" (source: https://civilengineersforum.com/h-beam-vs-i-beam/). That's true, but I did not mention it anywhere in my comments above. What I said was широкполочный (translates to "wide flange") which means exactly what you quoted from Wikipedia: "stick out further from the web" and "simply refer to their width". Nothing in my comments contradicts your findings.

What regards "T-beam", obviously I do agree, it is not a двутавр.

Компромисс:

H-beam = двутавр с параллельными гранями полок.

I-beam = двутавр с уклоном граней полок

все-таки beam – это балка, разновидность двутавра, а общее название – I-sections (из которых выделяют I-beams и в английском языке, а по-русски – это ближе к двутавру нормальному, но не исключено, что есть нюансы, я особо не углублялся), а также H-sections (который по-нашему двутавр широкополочный; дисклеймер: я не разбираюсь в сабже, в переводах и вообще ни в чем; пожалуйста, не надо к моим советам прислушиваться
