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 250 x 167,0 steel profile weighs 167.2 kg/m (112.37 lb/ft), has a depth of 289 mm (11.38 in), flange width 265 mm (10.43 in). Cross-sectional area: 21,326.751 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 30,022.316 cm⁴, Iy = 9,878.75 cm⁴.
