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 2000x515 steel profile weighs 515.3 kg/m (346.28 lb/ft), has a depth of 2000 mm (78.74 in), flange width 550 mm (21.65 in). Cross-sectional area: 65,642 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,326,007.08 cm⁴, Iy = 87,412.99 cm⁴.
