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 500x194 steel profile weighs 193.9 kg/m (130.30 lb/ft), has a depth of 500 mm (19.69 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 24,700 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 110,952.08 cm⁴, Iy = 17,879.94 cm⁴.
