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 460 x 464,0 steel profile weighs 463.9 kg/m (311.77 lb/ft), has a depth of 567 mm (22.32 in), flange width 305 mm (12.01 in). Cross-sectional area: 59,054.921 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 289,880.232 cm⁴, Iy = 33,121.288 cm⁴.
