VS 300x46
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 300x46 steel profile weighs 45.6 kg/m (30.64 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,806.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 10,127.9 cm⁴, Iy = 1,215.25 cm⁴.
