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 600x250x8x12 steel profile weighs 83.3 kg/m (55.97 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 10,608 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 64,608.998 cm⁴, Iy = 3,127.458 cm⁴.
