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 530 x 109,0 steel profile weighs 109.1 kg/m (73.33 lb/ft), has a depth of 539 mm (21.22 in), flange width 211 mm (8.31 in). Cross-sectional area: 13,894.911 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 66,771.748 cm⁴, Iy = 2,951.139 cm⁴.
