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 57,0 steel profile weighs 56.7 kg/m (38.09 lb/ft), has a depth of 358 mm (14.09 in), flange width 172 mm (6.77 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,213.461 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 16,042.775 cm⁴, Iy = 1,112.699 cm⁴.
