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 838x292x226 steel profile weighs 226.5 kg/m (152.21 lb/ft), has a depth of 850.9 mm (33.50 in), flange width 293.8 mm (11.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 28,584.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 335,466.72 cm⁴, Iy = 11,355.35 cm⁴.
