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 W460x82 steel profile weighs 82.0 kg/m (55.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 460 mm (18.11 in), flange width 191 mm (7.52 in). Cross-sectional area: 10,349.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 36,603.65 cm⁴, Iy = 1,861.56 cm⁴.
