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 W760x173 steel profile weighs 173.0 kg/m (116.26 lb/ft), has a depth of 762 mm (30.00 in), flange width 267 mm (10.51 in). Cross-sectional area: 21,885.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 202,687.72 cm⁴, Iy = 6,870.18 cm⁴.
