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 550x329 steel profile weighs 328.7 kg/m (220.89 lb/ft), has a depth of 550 mm (21.65 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 41,875 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 219,671.22 cm⁴, Iy = 40,061.85 cm⁴.
