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 450x83 steel profile weighs 83.4 kg/m (56.04 lb/ft), has a depth of 450 mm (17.72 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 10,633.4 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 41,522.58 cm⁴, Iy = 4,167.54 cm⁴.
