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 W200x46 steel profile weighs 46.1 kg/m (30.98 lb/ft), has a depth of 203 mm (7.99 in), flange width 203 mm (7.99 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,769.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,476.15 cm⁴, Iy = 1,534.22 cm⁴.
