Cintac, 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 400x200x6x10 steel profile weighs 49.3 kg/m (33.13 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 200 mm (7.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,280 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 17,956.933 cm⁴, Iy = 1,334.017 cm⁴.
