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 432,0 steel profile weighs 434.1 kg/m (291.72 lb/ft), has a depth of 1108 mm (43.62 in), flange width 402 mm (15.83 in). Cross-sectional area: 55,298.143 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,128,482.83 cm⁴, Iy = 43,519.347 cm⁴.
