AISC — 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 W150x37 steel profile weighs 37.0 kg/m (24.86 lb/ft), has a depth of 162 mm (6.38 in), flange width 154 mm (6.06 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,697.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,204.94 cm⁴, Iy = 706.72 cm⁴.
