VS 300x37
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 300x37 steel profile weighs 37.3 kg/m (25.07 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,754.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,096.22 cm⁴, Iy = 923.65 cm⁴.
