About the steel I-beam shown on end, the letter I shape

An I-beam is a steel bar shaped like the letter I when you look at its end. That clever shape uses less metal but stays very strong, so it can hold heavy weight without bending. Beams like these form the skeleton of tall buildings and bridges. Use it in a letter-I activity, tracing the path along the beam that looks just like the letter.

• An I-beam has a cross-section shaped like the letter I.
• The shape makes the beam strong while using less steel.
• I-beams are usually made of strong structural steel.
