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 400x116 steel profile weighs 116.5 kg/m (78.29 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 14,839 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 45,160.68 cm⁴, Iy = 8,552.59 cm⁴.
