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 700x166 steel profile weighs 166.4 kg/m (111.82 lb/ft), has a depth of 700 mm (27.56 in), flange width 320 mm (12.60 in). Cross-sectional area: 21,200 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 200,641.67 cm⁴, Iy = 13,656.11 cm⁴.
