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 400x103 steel profile weighs 102.8 kg/m (69.08 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 13,096 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 39,355.27 cm⁴, Iy = 7,202.63 cm⁴.
