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 1100 x 342,0 steel profile weighs 342.3 kg/m (230.00 lb/ft), has a depth of 1090 mm (42.91 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 43,647.363 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 867,387.912 cm⁴, Iy = 33,123.338 cm⁴.
