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 450x450x14x22 steel profile weighs 200.1 kg/m (134.43 lb/ft), has a depth of 450 mm (17.72 in), flange width 450 mm (17.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 25,484 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 98,563.672 cm⁴, Iy = 33,421.784 cm⁴.
