What is the corbel in the steel structure?

Steel supports are very common. For example, in a heavy industrial plant with steel structure, if a crane beam is needed, a bracket will be set on the column to support the crane beam, which is the same as the bracket column of a concrete plant.

In addition to its application in steel structure factories, supports have also been found in many building structures. In ancient buildings, the scientific name of bracket is "supporting arch" Bracket is another name for beam bracket. It is the support under the beam in the mixed structure, and its function is to disperse the force supported by the beam to the bearing objects below.

The corbel in steel structure workshop is usually used to support the rail crane beam, which is often found on the bent column of single-story workshop. Its shape is a prominent inverted trapezoid, with a plane above and a hypotenuse below. The height of corbel in steel structure workshop is usually less than half of the height of beam. Bracket is not only used in steel structure engineering, but also used in concrete engineering such as highway, water conservancy and housing construction.
