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.

Also known as: VS 200x25 (México) · Doble T VS 200x25 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 200 (UK / Australia)

The VS 200x25 steel profile weighs 24.6 kg/m (16.53 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,139.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,304.98 cm⁴, Iy = 273.76 cm⁴.
