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 W690x152 steel profile weighs 152.0 kg/m (102.14 lb/ft), has a depth of 688 mm (27.09 in), flange width 254 mm (10.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,178.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 148,623.42 cm⁴, Iy = 5,774.88 cm⁴.
