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 219,0 steel profile weighs 219.0 kg/m (147.18 lb/ft), has a depth of 560 mm (22.05 in), flange width 318 mm (12.52 in). Cross-sectional area: 27,895.551 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 151,079.883 cm⁴, Iy = 15,677.761 cm⁴.
