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 500x180 steel profile weighs 180.3 kg/m (121.16 lb/ft), has a depth of 500 mm (19.69 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 22,963.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 102,057.54 cm⁴, Iy = 16,022.2 cm⁴.
