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 382,0 steel profile weighs 382.3 kg/m (256.91 lb/ft), has a depth of 416 mm (16.38 in), flange width 406 mm (15.98 in). Cross-sectional area: 48,705.142 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 141,316.976 cm⁴, Iy = 53,615.888 cm⁴.
