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 554,0 steel profile weighs 555.0 kg/m (372.96 lb/ft), has a depth of 1032 mm (40.63 in), flange width 408 mm (16.06 in). Cross-sectional area: 70,656.267 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,233,994.144 cm⁴, Iy = 59,211.35 cm⁴.
