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 415,0 steel profile weighs 415.3 kg/m (279.06 lb/ft), has a depth of 403 mm (15.87 in), flange width 334 mm (13.15 in). Cross-sectional area: 52,875.382 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 129,918.629 cm⁴, Iy = 39,082.756 cm⁴.
