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 1000x217 steel profile weighs 216.7 kg/m (145.62 lb/ft), has a depth of 1000 mm (39.37 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 27,600 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 532,575 cm⁴, Iy = 26,670.72 cm⁴.
