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 920 x 381,0 steel profile weighs 381.5 kg/m (256.37 lb/ft), has a depth of 951 mm (37.44 in), flange width 310 mm (12.20 in). Cross-sectional area: 48,774.523 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 700,096.567 cm⁴, Iy = 21,917.827 cm⁴.
