HEB 220
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 220 (México) · Doble T HEB 220 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 220 (UK / Australia)
The HEB 220 steel profile weighs 71.5 kg/m (48.05 lb/ft), has a depth of 220 mm (8.66 in), flange width 220 mm (8.66 in). Cross-sectional area: 8,826 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,865.47 cm⁴, Iy = 2,840.81 cm⁴.
