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 457x152x60 steel profile weighs 59.8 kg/m (40.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 454.6 mm (17.90 in), flange width 152.9 mm (6.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,533.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 25,099.63 cm⁴, Iy = 794.26 cm⁴.
