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 838x292x176 steel profile weighs 175.9 kg/m (118.20 lb/ft), has a depth of 834.9 mm (32.87 in), flange width 291.7 mm (11.48 in). Cross-sectional area: 22,130.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 241,784.01 cm⁴, Iy = 7,795.3 cm⁴.
