HEA 180
EN — 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 HEA 180 steel profile weighs 35.5 kg/m (23.86 lb/ft), has a depth of 171 mm (6.73 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,332 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,408.19 cm⁴, Iy = 923.67 cm⁴.
