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 W250x89 steel profile weighs 89.0 kg/m (59.81 lb/ft), has a depth of 260 mm (10.24 in), flange width 256 mm (10.08 in). Cross-sectional area: 11,269.4 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 14,086.73 cm⁴, Iy = 4,839.73 cm⁴.
