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 31,0 steel profile weighs 31.4 kg/m (21.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 210 mm (8.27 in), flange width 134 mm (5.28 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,001.978 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,141.555 cm⁴, Iy = 409.601 cm⁴.
