Plate web and profile element

A profile body for welding onto a plate as a flange projecting symmetrically or asymmetrically from the plate, said profile body comprising a bulb shaped member, said bulb shaped member, in cross section, having,

• (i) a plane welding face for welding onto the plate,
• (ii) a common face spaced from and parallel to the plane welding face,
• (iii) a pair of inclined faces extending from said plane welding face and diverging from each other toward said common face, and inclined at an angle of approximately 10.degree. to 30.degree. with said common face,
• (iv) opposite side edges generally perpendicular to the common face and intersecting the common face and the inclined faces, and
• (v) rounded corners at the intersection of the opposite side edges with the inclined faces and the common face.
