VS 300x27
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 300x27 steel profile weighs 26.5 kg/m (17.81 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,381.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 5,287.82 cm⁴, Iy = 430.34 cm⁴.
