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 UC 152x152x23 steel profile weighs 23.0 kg/m (15.46 lb/ft), has a depth of 152.4 mm (6.00 in), flange width 152.2 mm (5.99 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,875 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,227.07 cm⁴, Iy = 399.8 cm⁴.
