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 600x412 steel profile weighs 412.1 kg/m (276.93 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 52,500 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 329,375 cm⁴, Iy = 53,398.44 cm⁴.
