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 450x156 steel profile weighs 156.4 kg/m (105.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 450 mm (17.72 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,923.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 70,361.51 cm⁴, Iy = 10,093.83 cm⁴.
