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 2000x461 steel profile weighs 460.8 kg/m (309.66 lb/ft), has a depth of 2000 mm (78.74 in), flange width 550 mm (21.65 in). Cross-sectional area: 58,700 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,670,472.92 cm⁴, Iy = 69,389.48 cm⁴.
