Default trailer frame steel

I have access to an old detroiter trailer. Its about
60ft long and made about day 6 of genesis.

Its trashed but I was wondering if the steel frame
has much value of a raw material for future projects.

It looks like a very light i-beam.

Does anyone have any experience in using this material?
Is i like rebar, just an unknown mix?
Is it weldable

etc etc
