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 310 x 118,0 steel profile weighs 117.8 kg/m (79.13 lb/ft), has a depth of 314 mm (12.36 in), flange width 307 mm (12.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 14,966.482 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 27,514.837 cm⁴, Iy = 9,023.609 cm⁴.
