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 72,0 steel profile weighs 71.5 kg/m (48.05 lb/ft), has a depth of 350 mm (13.78 in), flange width 204 mm (8.03 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,104.222 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 20,103.755 cm⁴, Iy = 2,139.544 cm⁴.
