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 900x159 steel profile weighs 158.6 kg/m (106.58 lb/ft), has a depth of 900 mm (35.43 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 20,196 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 300,813.81 cm⁴, Iy = 13,580.76 cm⁴.
