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 W200x15 steel profile weighs 15.0 kg/m (10.08 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,855.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,231.09 cm⁴, Iy = 86.79 cm⁴.
