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 600x95 steel profile weighs 95.0 kg/m (63.84 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 12,100 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 77,400.52 cm⁴, Iy = 5,627.45 cm⁴.
