VS 300x23
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 300x23 steel profile weighs 22.6 kg/m (15.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,877.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,200.78 cm⁴, Iy = 181.7 cm⁴.
