BR — 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 VS 1000x201 steel profile weighs 200.6 kg/m (134.80 lb/ft), has a depth of 1000 mm (39.37 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 25,561.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 486,331.4 cm⁴, Iy = 23,897.41 cm⁴.
