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 500x150 steel profile weighs 149.7 kg/m (100.60 lb/ft), has a depth of 500 mm (19.69 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,075 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 87,239.54 cm⁴, Iy = 13,584.6 cm⁴.
