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 350x350x20x40 steel profile weighs 262.2 kg/m (176.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 350 mm (13.78 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 33,400 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 70,923.833 cm⁴, Iy = 28,601.333 cm⁴.
