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 202,0 steel profile weighs 202.5 kg/m (136.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 341 mm (13.43 in), flange width 315 mm (12.40 in). Cross-sectional area: 25,802.882 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 51,981.867 cm⁴, Iy = 16,588.007 cm⁴.
