Gerdau · 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 W 200 x 22,5 steel profile weighs 22.5 kg/m (15.12 lb/ft), has a depth of 206 mm (8.11 in), flange width 102 mm (4.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,895.841 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,028.676 cm⁴, Iy = 142.146 cm⁴.
