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 W250x58 steel profile weighs 58.0 kg/m (38.98 lb/ft), has a depth of 252 mm (9.92 in), flange width 203 mm (7.99 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,281 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,561.99 cm⁴, Iy = 1,883.18 cm⁴.
