W 460 x 97,0 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 97,0 (México) · Doble T 460 x 97,0 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 466 (UK / Australia)

The W 460 x 97,0 steel profile weighs 96.6 kg/m (64.89 lb/ft), has a depth of 466 mm (18.35 in), flange width 193 mm (7.60 in). Cross-sectional area: 12,299.041 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 44,490.287 cm⁴, Iy = 2,282.389 cm⁴.
