VS 250x29
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 250x29 steel profile weighs 28.8 kg/m (19.35 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,671.5 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,256.64 cm⁴, Iy = 546.34 cm⁴.
