VS 250x25
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 250x25 steel profile weighs 24.6 kg/m (16.53 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,143.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,523.52 cm⁴, Iy = 430.29 cm⁴.
