HEM 100

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 HEM 100 steel profile weighs 41.8 kg/m (28.09 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 106 mm (4.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,200 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,125.33 cm⁴, Iy = 398.16 cm⁴.
