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 241,0 steel profile weighs 241.8 kg/m (162.48 lb/ft), has a depth of 635 mm (25.00 in), flange width 329 mm (12.95 in). Cross-sectional area: 30,799.771 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 215,431.218 cm⁴, Iy = 18,428.677 cm⁴.
