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 838x292x194 steel profile weighs 193.8 kg/m (130.23 lb/ft), has a depth of 840.7 mm (33.10 in), flange width 292.4 mm (11.51 in). Cross-sectional area: 24,410.5 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 274,938.51 cm⁴, Iy = 9,062.61 cm⁴.
