The structural channel, also known as a C-channel or Parallel Flange Channel (PFC), is a common structural steel beam used in building construction and civil engineering. Its cross-sectional shape is distinctive and consists of a wide "web" that is usually oriented vertically, and it has two "flanges" located at the top and bottom of the web. These flanges extend outward on only one side of the web, which distinguishes the structural channel from other steel cross-sectional shapes like I-beams, H-beams, or W-beams, which have flanges on both sides of the web.
The design of the structural channel makes it well-suited for various structural applications, as it offers good load-bearing capacity and stiffness. It is commonly used in framing, support structures, and as a component in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. The orientation of the web and the asymmetrical flanges allows for efficient distribution of loads and provides stability in the vertical direction, which is often required in such applications.
