IPE 360
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 IPE 360 steel profile weighs 57.1 kg/m (38.37 lb/ft), has a depth of 360 mm (14.17 in), flange width 170 mm (6.69 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,994.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 15,523.83 cm⁴, Iy = 1,041.35 cm⁴.
