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 1200x200 steel profile weighs 200.2 kg/m (134.53 lb/ft), has a depth of 1200 mm (47.24 in), flange width 450 mm (17.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 25,496 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 630,844.13 cm⁴, Iy = 24,308.35 cm⁴.
