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 800x300x11x20 steel profile weighs 159.8 kg/m (107.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 800 mm (31.50 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 20,360 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 222,799.467 cm⁴, Iy = 9,008.43 cm⁴.
