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 610x305x238 steel profile weighs 238.1 kg/m (160.00 lb/ft), has a depth of 635.8 mm (25.03 in), flange width 311.4 mm (12.26 in). Cross-sectional area: 30,099.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 207,601.79 cm⁴, Iy = 15,832.55 cm⁴.
