VS 200x22

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 200x22 steel profile weighs 21.9 kg/m (14.72 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,794 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,017.08 cm⁴, Iy = 230.56 cm⁴.
