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 1000x400x14x25 steel profile weighs 261.4 kg/m (175.67 lb/ft), has a depth of 1000 mm (39.37 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 33,300 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 575,443.75 cm⁴, Iy = 26,688.39 cm⁴.
