CISC, hot-rolled 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 W 1000 x 393,0 steel profile weighs 392.5 kg/m (263.76 lb/ft), has a depth of 1016 mm (40.00 in), flange width 303 mm (11.93 in). Cross-sectional area: 50,024.047 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 807,688.59 cm⁴, Iy = 20,496.005 cm⁴.
