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 200 x 19,0 steel profile weighs 19.5 kg/m (13.08 lb/ft), has a depth of 203 mm (7.99 in), flange width 102 mm (4.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,482.938 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,659.728 cm⁴, Iy = 115.406 cm⁴.
