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 818,0 steel profile weighs 816.4 kg/m (548.62 lb/ft), has a depth of 514 mm (20.24 in), flange width 437 mm (17.20 in). Cross-sectional area: 104,331.142 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 392,190.98 cm⁴, Iy = 135,528.894 cm⁴.
