HEB 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.
Also known as: HEB 180 (México) · Doble T HEB 180 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 180 (UK / Australia)
The HEB 180 steel profile weighs 51.2 kg/m (34.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 180 mm (7.09 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,332 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,729.04 cm⁴, Iy = 1,361.58 cm⁴.
