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 356x406x235 steel profile weighs 235.1 kg/m (157.99 lb/ft), has a depth of 381 mm (15.00 in), flange width 394.8 mm (15.54 in). Cross-sectional area: 29,745 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 78,596.33 cm⁴, Iy = 30,989.92 cm⁴.
