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 254x254x132 steel profile weighs 132.0 kg/m (88.70 lb/ft), has a depth of 276.3 mm (10.88 in), flange width 261.3 mm (10.29 in). Cross-sectional area: 16,675 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 22,361.06 cm⁴, Iy = 7,529.67 cm⁴.
