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 800x400x11x25 steel profile weighs 221.8 kg/m (149.02 lb/ft), has a depth of 800 mm (31.50 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 28,250 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 339,088.542 cm⁴, Iy = 26,674.985 cm⁴.
