ISWB 600A

IS — 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 ISWB 600A steel profile weighs 145.1 kg/m (97.51 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 18,323 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 114,676.02 cm⁴, Iy = 6,153.4 cm⁴.
