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 33,0 steel profile weighs 32.8 kg/m (22.05 lb/ft), has a depth of 313 mm (12.32 in), flange width 102 mm (4.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,181.378 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 6,507.024 cm⁴, Iy = 191.87 cm⁴.
