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 W360x33 steel profile weighs 32.9 kg/m (22.11 lb/ft), has a depth of 349 mm (13.74 in), flange width 127 mm (5.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,084.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,027.9 cm⁴, Iy = 290.73 cm⁴.
