VS 700x122

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 700x122 steel profile weighs 122.3 kg/m (82.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 700 mm (27.56 in), flange width 320 mm (12.60 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,584 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 139,664.82 cm⁴, Iy = 8,740.98 cm⁴.
