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 550x220 steel profile weighs 219.8 kg/m (147.71 lb/ft), has a depth of 550 mm (21.65 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 28,000 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 154,583.33 cm⁴, Iy = 26,683.73 cm⁴.
