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 600x152 steel profile weighs 152.3 kg/m (102.35 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,400 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 135,154.17 cm⁴, Iy = 11,252.35 cm⁴.
