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 W690x170 steel profile weighs 170.0 kg/m (114.24 lb/ft), has a depth of 693 mm (27.28 in), flange width 256 mm (10.08 in). Cross-sectional area: 21,447.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 167,961.78 cm⁴, Iy = 6,615.44 cm⁴.
