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 360 x 216,0 steel profile weighs 216.7 kg/m (145.60 lb/ft), has a depth of 375 mm (14.76 in), flange width 394 mm (15.51 in). Cross-sectional area: 27,549.822 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 71,138.472 cm⁴, Iy = 28,253.635 cm⁴.
