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 314,0 steel profile weighs 314.8 kg/m (211.54 lb/ft), has a depth of 786 mm (30.94 in), flange width 384 mm (15.12 in). Cross-sectional area: 40,067.52 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 427,675.478 cm⁴, Iy = 31,570.888 cm⁴.
