CVS 400x140 — Dimensions & Section Properties
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.
Also known as: CVS 400x140 (México) · Doble T CVS 400x140 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 400 (UK / Australia)
The CVS 400x140 steel profile weighs 140.4 kg/m (94.35 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 17,880 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 52,631.85 cm⁴, Iy = 10,085.78 cm⁴.
