W 460 x 61,0 CISC · Weight & Dimensions

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.

Also known as: IPR 460 x 61,0 (México) · Doble T 460 x 61,0 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 450 (UK / Australia)

The W 460 x 61,0 steel profile weighs 60.1 kg/m (40.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 450 mm (17.72 in), flange width 189 mm (7.44 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,638.281 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 25,383.747 cm⁴, Iy = 1,217.495 cm⁴.
