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 900x300x11x20 steel profile weighs 168.5 kg/m (113.21 lb/ft), has a depth of 900 mm (35.43 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 21,460 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 290,665.133 cm⁴, Iy = 9,009.539 cm⁴.
