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 UB 152x89x16 steel profile weighs 16.0 kg/m (10.75 lb/ft), has a depth of 152.4 mm (6.00 in), flange width 88.7 mm (3.49 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,982.5 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 812.13 cm⁴, Iy = 89.66 cm⁴.
