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 610 x 174,0 steel profile weighs 174.3 kg/m (117.11 lb/ft), has a depth of 616 mm (24.25 in), flange width 325 mm (12.80 in). Cross-sectional area: 22,204.271 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 147,158.716 cm⁴, Iy = 12,372.732 cm⁴.
