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 254x254x73 steel profile weighs 73.1 kg/m (49.12 lb/ft), has a depth of 254.1 mm (10.00 in), flange width 254.6 mm (10.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,171.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 11,239.57 cm⁴, Iy = 3,907.02 cm⁴.
