CISC, welded 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 I 1000x300x14x20 steel profile weighs 199.7 kg/m (134.20 lb/ft), has a depth of 1000 mm (39.37 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 25,440 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 391,379.2 cm⁴, Iy = 9,021.952 cm⁴.
