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 690 x 350,0 steel profile weighs 350.1 kg/m (235.27 lb/ft), has a depth of 728 mm (28.66 in), flange width 360 mm (14.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 44,568.362 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 401,893.621 cm⁴, Iy = 31,874.659 cm⁴.
