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 283,0 steel profile weighs 282.6 kg/m (189.91 lb/ft), has a depth of 365 mm (14.37 in), flange width 322 mm (12.68 in). Cross-sectional area: 36,039.462 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 78,681.365 cm⁴, Iy = 24,589.396 cm⁴.
