HEM 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.
The HEM 180 steel profile weighs 88.9 kg/m (59.74 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 186 mm (7.32 in). Cross-sectional area: 11,132 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,381.04 cm⁴, Iy = 2,577.8 cm⁴.
