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 760 x 284,0 steel profile weighs 284.2 kg/m (190.96 lb/ft), has a depth of 779 mm (30.67 in), flange width 382 mm (15.04 in). Cross-sectional area: 36,182.88 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 381,457.627 cm⁴, Iy = 28,003.637 cm⁴.
