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 350x350x20x50 steel profile weighs 314.0 kg/m (211.01 lb/ft), has a depth of 350 mm (13.78 in), flange width 350 mm (13.78 in). Cross-sectional area: 40,000 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 82,083.333 cm⁴, Iy = 35,745.833 cm⁴.
