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 W200x36 steel profile weighs 35.9 kg/m (24.12 lb/ft), has a depth of 201 mm (7.91 in), flange width 165 mm (6.50 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,485.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,370.71 cm⁴, Iy = 764.02 cm⁴.
