VS 400x35
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 400x35 steel profile weighs 35.1 kg/m (23.59 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 140 mm (5.51 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,469.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 12,331.81 cm⁴, Iy = 434.81 cm⁴.
