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 600x226 steel profile weighs 226.1 kg/m (151.94 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 28,800 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 187,600 cm⁴, Iy = 26,685.44 cm⁴.
