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 320 steel profile weighs 245.0 kg/m (164.64 lb/ft), has a depth of 359 mm (14.13 in), flange width 309 mm (12.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 30,579 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 67,018.48 cm⁴, Iy = 19,690.62 cm⁴.
