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 150 x 14,0 steel profile weighs 13.6 kg/m (9.13 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,728.603 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 685.079 cm⁴, Iy = 91.8 cm⁴.
