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 400x41 steel profile weighs 41.1 kg/m (27.62 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,229.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 15,229.7 cm⁴, Iy = 923.74 cm⁴.
