Steel Profile Families — Overview

W Shapes (Wide Flange Beams)

W shapes are the most common structural steel profiles used in building construction. Also known as wide flange beams or I-beams, they are designated by their nominal depth and weight per unit length — for example, a W200x46 has a depth of approximately 203 mm and weighs 46.1 kg/m (31.0 lb/ft). Common sizes range from the light W150x13 (13 kg/m) to the heavy W610x174 (174 kg/m). W shapes are used for beams, columns, and transfer girders in steel-framed buildings per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, and NBR 8800.

C Shapes (Cold-Formed Channels)

C-section profiles (also called lipped channels) are cold-formed from thin steel sheet. They feature flanges with stiffening lips that improve local buckling resistance. Typical designations include C 200x75x20x2.66 meaning 200 mm height, 75 mm flange width, 20 mm lip, and 2.66 mm thickness (10.75 kg/m). C shapes are widely used for purlins, girts, and light structural framing per NBR 14762 and AISI S100.

RHS / SHS / CHS (Hollow Sections)

Rectangular (RHS), square (SHS), and circular (CHS) hollow sections are tubular profiles offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio and aesthetic appeal. An RHS 200x100x6.3 weighs approximately 28.3 kg/m, while a CHS 168.3x6.4 weighs 25.5 kg/m. Hollow sections are commonly used for columns, trusses, and exposed structural elements in modern architecture.

L Shapes (Angles)

L-shaped angles are used for bracing, connections, and lintels. Equal-leg angles like L 64x64x6.4 (5.87 kg/m) are common in diagonal bracing systems, while unequal-leg angles provide flexibility for specific connection geometries. Available in AISC, Eurocode, and Indian Standard catalogs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a W200x46 steel beam weigh per meter?

A W200x46 wide flange beam weighs 46.1 kg/m (31.0 lb/ft). It has a depth of 203 mm, flange width of 203 mm, web thickness of 7.2 mm, and flange thickness of 11.0 mm.

What is the difference between W shapes and I beams?

W shapes (wide flange) and I-beams refer to similar H-shaped cross sections. In modern usage, "W shape" follows AISC nomenclature where the designation includes nominal depth and weight (e.g., W310x52). European standards use IPE, HEA, HEB, and HEM designations for equivalent shapes.

What steel profiles are available in the AISC catalog?

The AISC Shapes Database includes W shapes (wide flange beams from W150 to W610), L shapes (angles), RHS (rectangular hollow sections), SHS (square hollow sections), and CHS (circular hollow sections). CalcSteel includes 150+ AISC profiles with dimensions in metric (SI) units.

How do I choose the right steel profile for a beam?

Selection depends on the required moment capacity, shear capacity, and deflection limits. Start with the span length and applied loads to calculate the required section modulus (Sx). Then select a W shape with sufficient Sx from the catalog. For detailed design, use CalcSteel's structural analysis with automatic code checks per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, or NBR 8800.

What is the weight per meter of common steel profiles?

Common weights: W150x13 = 13.0 kg/m, W200x22 = 22.3 kg/m, W200x46 = 46.1 kg/m, W250x73 = 73.0 kg/m, W310x52 = 52.0 kg/m, W360x91 = 91.0 kg/m, W410x60 = 60.0 kg/m, W460x74 = 74.0 kg/m. For cold-formed: C 200x75x20x2.66 = 10.75 kg/m, U 200x60x2.66 = 9.61 kg/m.
