HEB 140
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.
Also known as: HEB 140 (México) · Doble T HEB 140 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 140 (UK / Australia)
The HEB 140 steel profile weighs 33.7 kg/m (22.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 140 mm (5.51 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,172 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,471.34 cm⁴, Iy = 549.13 cm⁴.
