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 443,0 steel profile weighs 442.7 kg/m (297.52 lb/ft), has a depth of 1012 mm (39.84 in), flange width 402 mm (15.83 in). Cross-sectional area: 56,365.687 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 966,511.885 cm⁴, Iy = 45,497.65 cm⁴.
