Description
Description

A cruciform steel column without end-plates of beams is a type of cruciform column that does not have end-plates welded to the ends of the universal beam sections. The cross-sectional shape of a cruciform column is in the form of a cross, with the two universal beam sections forming the arms of the cross. Cruciform columns are typically used in buildings and other structures where there is a need for a strong and lightweight column. This type of cruciform column is typically used in applications where weight is a critical factor, as the end-plates add weight to the column.
