HEM 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.
The HEM 220 steel profile weighs 117.0 kg/m (78.62 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 226 mm (8.90 in). Cross-sectional area: 14,666 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 14,379.34 cm⁴, Iy = 5,007.88 cm⁴.
