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 305x102x25 steel profile weighs 24.8 kg/m (16.67 lb/ft), has a depth of 305.1 mm (12.01 in), flange width 101.6 mm (4.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,110.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,352.84 cm⁴, Iy = 122.83 cm⁴.
