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 1500x293 steel profile weighs 292.6 kg/m (196.63 lb/ft), has a depth of 1500 mm (59.06 in), flange width 500 mm (19.69 in). Cross-sectional area: 37,275 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,367,418.54 cm⁴, Iy = 39,607.13 cm⁴.
