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 W760x161 steel profile weighs 161.0 kg/m (108.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 759 mm (29.88 in), flange width 266 mm (10.47 in). Cross-sectional area: 20,209.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 183,476.47 cm⁴, Iy = 6,069.9 cm⁴.
