HEM 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.
The HEM 140 steel profile weighs 63.2 kg/m (42.47 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 146 mm (5.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,932 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,253.47 cm⁴, Iy = 1,143.24 cm⁴.
