BR — Wide Flange (I-beam)
Wide flange beams (W shapes / I-beams) are the most common structural steel profile used in building construction. They are used for beams, columns, and girders in steel-framed buildings and bridges. Designed per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, and NBR 8800.
The CVS 300x55 steel profile weighs 54.9 kg/m (36.89 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,998 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 11,504.12 cm⁴, Iy = 2,475.16 cm⁴.
