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 800x143 steel profile weighs 143.3 kg/m (96.30 lb/ft), has a depth of 800 mm (31.50 in), flange width 320 mm (12.60 in). Cross-sectional area: 18,256 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 214,961.44 cm⁴, Iy = 10,379.78 cm⁴.
