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 499,0 steel profile weighs 497.7 kg/m (334.45 lb/ft), has a depth of 1118 mm (44.02 in), flange width 405 mm (15.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 63,418.563 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,293,154.348 cm⁴, Iy = 49,982.33 cm⁴.
