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 314 x 131,1 steel profile weighs 131.1 kg/m (88.09 lb/ft), has a depth of 314 mm (12.36 in), flange width 313 mm (12.32 in). Cross-sectional area: 16,725.362 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 28,683.181 cm⁴, Iy = 9,369.948 cm⁴.
