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 152x152x30 steel profile weighs 30.0 kg/m (20.16 lb/ft), has a depth of 157.6 mm (6.20 in), flange width 152.9 mm (6.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,776.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,725.3 cm⁴, Iy = 560.33 cm⁴.
