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 700x300x11x20 steel profile weighs 151.2 kg/m (101.60 lb/ft), has a depth of 700 mm (27.56 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,260 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 165,113.8 cm⁴, Iy = 9,007.321 cm⁴.
