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 W460x60 steel profile weighs 60.0 kg/m (40.32 lb/ft), has a depth of 455 mm (17.91 in), flange width 153 mm (6.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,497 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 25,097.85 cm⁴, Iy = 795.74 cm⁴.
