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 800x160 steel profile weighs 160.0 kg/m (107.52 lb/ft), has a depth of 800 mm (31.50 in), flange width 320 mm (12.60 in). Cross-sectional area: 20,377.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 245,484.78 cm⁴, Iy = 12,236.61 cm⁴.
