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 22,0 steel profile weighs 22.4 kg/m (15.03 lb/ft), has a depth of 254 mm (10.00 in), flange width 102 mm (4.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,855.698 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,895.95 cm⁴, Iy = 122.563 cm⁴.
