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 417,0 steel profile weighs 418.4 kg/m (281.17 lb/ft), has a depth of 928 mm (36.54 in), flange width 422 mm (16.61 in). Cross-sectional area: 53,254.543 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 787,552.738 cm⁴, Iy = 50,070.87 cm⁴.
