Just an idea from a question posted over on 
comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing
("I-Beams: Union or difference?")

... Use text to form an I-cross-sectioned beam:

// Declare the I-Beams, normailsed to fit into
// a 1 unit cube centred at <0,0,0>.
// The beam extends along the z axis.
// (RSJ: Rolled Steel Joist)

#declare IBeam1 = // Standard rounded cross-section RSJ/Girder/Beam
  object{
    text{ ttf "timrom.ttf" "I", 1, 0 }
    scale <3.45,1.475,1>
    translate <-0.5,-0.5,-0.5>
  }

Image and .pov attached.
