VS 1500x319

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 1500x319 steel profile weighs 318.6 kg/m (214.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 1500 mm (59.06 in), flange width 500 mm (19.69 in). Cross-sectional area: 40,590 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,543,736.58 cm⁴, Iy = 46,690.35 cm⁴.
