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 700x137 steel profile weighs 137.1 kg/m (92.13 lb/ft), has a depth of 700 mm (27.56 in), flange width 320 mm (12.60 in). Cross-sectional area: 17,456 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 160,361.09 cm⁴, Iy = 10,379.36 cm⁴.
