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 W460x106 steel profile weighs 106.0 kg/m (71.23 lb/ft), has a depth of 469 mm (18.46 in), flange width 194 mm (7.64 in). Cross-sectional area: 13,383.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 48,425.34 cm⁴, Iy = 2,513.94 cm⁴.
