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 900x142 steel profile weighs 142.4 kg/m (95.69 lb/ft), has a depth of 900 mm (35.43 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 18,144 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 262,429.71 cm⁴, Iy = 11,437.04 cm⁴.
