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 900x177 steel profile weighs 176.8 kg/m (118.81 lb/ft), has a depth of 900 mm (35.43 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 22,521.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 343,674.49 cm⁴, Iy = 16,010.32 cm⁴.
