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 400x152 steel profile weighs 152.1 kg/m (102.21 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,375 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 57,278.65 cm⁴, Iy = 11,255.7 cm⁴.
