AHMSA, welded sections · 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 I 533.4x304.8x7.9x9.5 steel profile weighs 77.4 kg/m (51.99 lb/ft), has a depth of 533.4 mm (21.00 in), flange width 304.8 mm (12.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,854.96 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 48,703.137 cm⁴, Iy = 4,485.614 cm⁴.
